Glass beads are used as stirring or mixing beads in aerosol sprays, usually when the formulation in the spray is water-based.
The main advantage of inert glass beads over metallic beads is their very good hydrolytic resistance.
Depending on the viscosity of the formulation, the bead size varies between 10 mm and a maximum of 16 mm. A narrow diameter and roundness tolerance of +/-0.5mm and more is guaranteed.
Advantages:
- No bead breakage
- 100% sizing, each bead is checked for tolerance
- Precise roundness
