Glass Beads for Mixing

Fields of application

• Stirring Beads – Mixing Beads.
  Glass beads Type M are used in the sizes 1.5 mm – 16.0 mm as stirring beads and mixing beads for aerosol spray. The glass beads ensure homogeneous mixing of the ingredients.
• Valve Beads
  Glass beads are used as valve beads in bottle caps to prevent “adulteration” and contamination of high-quality bottle contents such as spirits or olive oil. This guarantees the purity content of the bottle.
• Support Material and Filter Pack in Water Wells
  Furthermore, the glass spheres are used as support and filter material to construct drinking water wells. The glass beads replace the filter gravel. Filter glass beads can also replace the filter gravel in filter systems, e.g., in swimming pool construction.
