Tradition and state-of-the-art production

SiLi has been developing technical glass beads for decades. We have always been rightly able to say that our production is according to modern technologies. Of course, our products are produced with the latest machine technology for various application areas today. We always try to ensure state-of-the-art technology, by our own in-house R&D and by steady observation of worldwide technologies.

Varity of applications

With their great variety of qualities and types, SiLibeads are used in various industries and application areas: as grinding beads in agitator ball mills for the pulverization and dispersion of pigments, paints, varnishes, minerals, and ceramic powders as well as in specialties chemistry and nanotechnology. The valve beads for the non-refillable caps of spirits bottles are also worth mentioning. The beads and the cap secure the product against illegal mixing. Our reflective glass beads provide for more traffic safety, allowing for better visibility of the road markings at night. The mixing beads in insulin vials enhance the effectiveness of the drug and thus the health of the patient. The filter beads in the annular space filling of drinkingwater wells enhance the effectiveness and the service life and provide for sustainable water recovery.

Variable form and material

We meet the demand for this variety of applications. The steady optimization and the expansion of our production processes consolidate our lead permanently. Today, three different molding processes and many different glass types are at our disposal; a variety which makes us unique amongst our competitors.

A complete program

Many industries profit from the wide range of hightech production possibilities. We serve this broad "gamut" with our diversified technologies and materials. In the field of technical glass beads, we consider ourselves as full-range suppliers, especially when it comes to specific customer wishes.
