Scotchlite glass bubbles offer a variety
of benefits to light weight, high-build elastomeric
roof coatings, anti-condensation coatings,
etc. Here are some of the benefits :
Lower viscosity, improved flow
Increased filler loading, reduced cost
VOC reduction
Chemical stability and inertness
Reduced dielectric constant
Thermal conductivity reduction
Temperature resistance
