For Reflective Sheets

It is suitable for closed-type retroreflective materials and is used in traffic signs, car license plates, and more.

For Blasting

It does not overly grind the processing surface, thus forming a unique matte finish product. It is also used in various cleaning and shot peening processes.

For Grinding and Dispersion

Owing to its wide range of particle sizes, it allows for diverse grinding and dispersion options and has applications in various industries. Low-alkali glass types exhibit excellent wear resistance and extremely low alkali leaching.

For Plastic Filler

Its spherical shape exhibits excellent fillability and flowability. Being isotropic, it does not introduce anisotropy into the molded products' properties. Additionally, it contributes to reducing warping in molded items. Furthermore, it possesses transparency, heat resistance, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation properties.

High-Precision UNIBEADS

It has an extremely sharp particle-size distribution and is used in various spacers. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring heat resistance, load-bearing capacity, and electrical insulation properties.

Spheroidization Contracting Business

We performed spheroidization of various types of glass. However, please not all glass types can be spheroidized; please inquire first.
