Glass Beads

• Glass beads are used as high precision beads for ball bearings,
• valves of dosage pumps and dispensers, as
• mixing balls in the pharmacy industry and as
• closures of ink cartridges and many other special applications in the optical, space and medical technique.

SiLibeads glass ceramic beads Typ GZ are particularly used as a cost-effective alternative to high-quality ceramic grinding media at the

• preparation and grinding of CaCO3
• wet grinding of TiO2 and Kaolin
• grinding of organic and inorganic pigments as well as of paint and coatings systems in a low or medium viscosity- and solid material ranges

• Glass beads are used as grinding and dispersing media for paints, pigments, for production of
• agro chemicals and as filling agent in the paper industry,
• as shot blasting and coating material for surface coatings of metal (mechanical plating), plastic and wood,
• as filling media in thermoplast and duroplast and
• as reflection beads > 0,8 mm for the road marking

• Glass beads are used as high wear restistance grinding beads for production of magnetic coatings and for
• anti-corrosion coatings, lacks, pigments, dyestuff and agro chemicals.

• Glass beads are used as stirring beads in aerosol sprays,
• impact material for mechanical surface coating (mechanical plating) and as
• grinding and dispersion media for pharmaceutical and cosmetic preparations.

• Glass beads are used as high wear resistance grinding beads for the production of higher viscosity products.
