GLOXIL iM16k MAM

The product is based on the iM16k, modified with a methacryl function. The main areas of application are thermoplastics, thermosets and elastomers with demands for weight reduction or volume cost reduction.

Thanks to the exclusive cooperation with 3M, it is also possible to use other grades (size and stability) of 3MTM Glass Bubbles. Different functional groups such as amino, vinyl, alkyl, etc. can be applied to the base material for surface modification.

Field of applications

 

Thermoplastics

  • Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT)
  • Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
