These functional fillers deliver both a uniform sheen and a durable surface finish. Strong and intrinsically hard, 3M™ Ceramic Microspheres resist scrubbing and burnishing. Their unique shape and particle size distribution allow them to pack tightly, enabling higher solids and potentially lower-VOC formulations.

As a cost-effective alternative to conventional fillers, these hollow glass microspheres help lower the density, weight and viscosity of paints and specialty coatings. 3M™ Glass Bubbles can also be used to increase solar reflectance in roof coatings.
