3M™ Ceramic Microspheres

3M™ Ceramic Microspheres are one in a family of 3M microspheres. They have the broadest application for paints and powder coatings. 3M Glass Microspheres, however, offer enhancements for specialties such as high-build/low-slump coatings, reflective roof coatings, lower thermally conductive finishes, and low density roof coatings.

For dispersal, use low shear mixing equipment and add during the let-down stage. The following is an overview of product characteristics.

Better Finish of a

1 Lower viscosity and improved flowUnlike many irregularly shaped fillers, 3M ceramic microspheres roll easily over one another, similar to ball bearings. This contributes to lower viscosity, better flow, and improved sprayability.

2 Higher filler loading to reduce costsWith the lowest surface area to volume ratio of any shape, 3M ceramic microspheres reduce resin demand and increase volume loading capacity. Smaller spheres may fill voids between larger ones to enhance packing for higher solids/lower VOCs, and reduced costs.

3 Burnish resistance and hardnessMohs 7 hardness and spherical shape contribute to increased burnish resistance and hardness of the finished surface. Surfaces stay new looking longer to save the time and cost of touch-ups or repainting. With ordinary fillers, soft or jagged particles on the surface often break or wear away.

Powder coating with a spherical dispersion improves material handling for consistently smooth surfaces.

High-scrub, crystalline silica-free interior paints maintain optical qualities after repeated cleaning

Eight ways to help you reduce costs while enhancing paint and powder coating performance


3M Microspheres W-410

Mica

Calcium Carbonate

Wollastonite

3M™ Ceramic Microspheres are high-strength, inert fine particles with intrinsic hardness. 3M microspheres are engineered to help you reduce costs, increase solids, enhance properties, and improve processability.

5 Barrier effect Tight particle packing, combined with hardness and inertness, creates a durable, low-permeation film barrier against weather, corrosion and chemicals.

Truck under-carriage coating combines lower VOCs, high solids, and corrosion resistance. Bridges and other exposed metal structures require a physical barrier against harsh environments.

6 Inert and free of crystalline silicaBecause of their inert composition, 3M™ Ceramic Microspheres are resistant to a variety of chemicals. Solid ceramic microspheres are also free of crystalline silica (hollow microspheres are not).

Chemical storage tanks and piping need to present a clean, professional image while resisting harsh chemicals.

7 Radiation curable coatingsTo help improve productivity and depth of cure for UV-curable coatings, white 3M ceramic microspheres are UV transparent to 250nm. The microspheres allow transmission of the UV energy through the coating. Gray and white 3M ceramic microspheres also improve the viscosity and flow/leveling in E-beam coating applications.

Radiation curable applications include:

• Potting compounds• Patching compounds• Wood coatings

• Overprints• Powder coatings• Adhesives

Potential application – UV-curable coatings for increased durability

8 Standard equipment for dispersingWith high compression strength, 3M ceramic microspheres are best added during the grind. For optimum dispersion, sand, ball and roll mills are preferred.

Equipment wear has been reported to be less than many irregularly-shaped mineral fillers of equal or lower hardness.

Military equipment requires a low-gloss camouflage finish that’s resistant to abrasion and corrosion.

Novec™

FluorosurfactantFC-4430

3M™ Novec™ Fluorosurfactant FC-4430 is a non-ionic polymeric fluorochemical surfactantbelonging to a class of coating additives which provide low surface tensions in organiccoating systems that are best obtainable with fluorochemicals. Novec FC-4430fluorosurfactant is an excellent wetting, leveling and flow control agent for a variety ofwaterborne, solvent-borne, high-solids and radiation curable organic polymer coatingsystems. Novec FC-4430 fluorosurfactant is soluble and compatible with most polymersand continues to be active throughout the drying or curing process. When used inwaterborne polymer systems, Novec FC-4430 fluorosurfactant tends to reduce theaqueous/organic interfacial tension and remain surface active in the organic portion of thepolymer system.

Novec FC-4430 fluorosurfactant is the first in a new line of fluorochemical surfactants from3M based on perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS). PFBS refers collectively toperfluorobutane sulfonyl compounds including perfluorobutane sulfonates. 3M believesPFBS-based surfactants, with only four perfluorinated carbon atoms, offer improvedenvironmental properties.
