Glass Flake

PROPERTIES

C-glass platelet of about 5µm thick and 10~4,000µm wide
Extends life of protective coating : dispersed through the coating, prevents the ingress of water vapour and chemical solutions
Prevents cracking and peeling : provides a thermal stabilization layer in the protective coating
Improves wear resistance : increases hardness of epoxy and polyester resin coatings
Improves chemical resistance: Borosilicate C-glass makes good resistance to chemical attacks, compared to other types of glass
