C-glass platelet of about 5µm thick and 10~4,000µm wide
Extends life of protective coating : dispersed through the coating,
prevents the ingress of water vapour and chemical solutions
Prevents cracking and peeling : provides a thermal stabilization
layer in the protective coating
Improves wear resistance : increases hardness of epoxy and
polyester resin coatings
Improves chemical resistance: Borosilicate C-glass makes good
resistance to chemical attacks, compared to other types of glass
Microglas® Glass Flake is ideal for use in vinyl ester, epoxy,
acrylic paints and acrylic coatings as a barrier against corrosive
attacks by chemicals and moisture.
