Products for Paints and Coatings

These functional paint fillers deliver both a uniform sheen and a durable surface finish. Strong and intrinsically hard, 3M™ Ceramic Microspheres resist scrubbing and burnishing. Their unique shape and particle size distribution allow them to pack tightly, enabling higher solids and potentially lower-VOC formulations.
-
As a cost-effective alternative to conventional paint fillers, these hollow glass microspheres help lower the density, weight and viscosity of paint solutions and specialty industrial coating products. 3M™ Glass Bubbles can also be used as an excellent additive in solar reflective coatings.
