3M™ Ceramic Microspheres W-610

3M™ Ceramic Microspheres W-610 are unique, semi-transparent, white-colored, fine particle size, high-strength microspheres. These products are typically used to reduce VOC levels, increase filler loadings, improve hardness and add burnish, scrub and abrasion resistance to a variety of coating formulations. Due to the ceramic chemistry of these products, they are also UV transparent down to 250 nm and have utility in radiation-curable and thin-film powder coatings.
