Benefits of the 3M™ Glass Bubbles Type VS in Seam Sealing and Underbody Applications:
- Reduces plastisol weight up to 50%
- Allows increased volume loading while maintaining desired viscosity
- Low aspect ratio enables faster wettability and dispersion
- Produces surfaces that are easily skived (trimmed to desired thickness)
- High strength and pressure stable to achieve consistent, low density in multi-seal applications
- Helps reduce equipment wear compared to irregular fillers
