HOLLOW GLASS SPHERES

Hollow glass spheres having average densities of approximately 0.10 grams/cc to approximately 2.0 grams/cc are prepared by heating solid glass particles. The glass spheres consist essentially of the following ingredients in the following amounts state as weight percentages: SiO2(50 to 57%); R2O(2 to...

Zusammenfassung:Hollow glass spheres having average densities of approximately 0.10 grams/cc to approximately 2.0 grams/cc are prepared by heating solid glass particles. The glass spheres consist essentially of the following ingredients in the following amounts state as weight percentages: SiO2(50 to 57%); R2O(2 to 15%); B2O3(0 to 20%); S(0.05 to 1.5%); RO(2 to 25%); RO2(other than SiO2) (0 to 5%); R2O3(other than B2O3) (0 to 10%); R2O5(0 to 5%); and F(0 to 5%). R represents a metal or an element like phosphorous which combines with oxygen in glass. The sizes of the hollow glass spheres are selected to produce a maximum average strength for a desired average density.
