3M™ Glass Bubbles S32HSN are high-strength, low-density additives specially formulated to be strong enough to survive processing. They are hollow glass microspheres made from water-resistant and chemically-stable soda-lime borosilicate glass. These hollow glass microspheres can help reduce density and offer enhanced thermal insulation for better energy efficiency. They are used in a variety of applications in diverse markets, including automotive, construction, paints and coatings, appliances, and oil and gas applications.

3M™ Glass Bubbles S32HSN are highstrength, low-density additives specially formulated to potentially afford higher survivability at low resin densities. These hollow glass microspheres are made from water-resistant and chemically-stable sodalime borosilicate glass. 3M™ Glass Bubbles reduce density and improve thermal insulation for more energy efficiency. They’re used in automotive, construction, paints and coatings, appliances, and oil and gas applications.
