Zeeospheres Ceramics N-400
Zeeospheres Ceramics N-400 is unique dark gray-colored, fine particle size, high-strength microspheres. It is opaque to visible light, but transparent to UV light. The product is typically to reduce VOC levels, increase filler loadings, improve hardness, and add burnish, scrub and abrasion resistance to a variety of coating formulations. It is typically used when color is not important in the applications.

- Formulating Information
Zeeospheres Ceramic Microsphers are best dispersed by using sand, ball and roller mills. For optimal dispersion, the Zeeospheres should be added to the grind stage, along with pigments and other filler materials. Use of a dispersant can aid in the wet-out and dispersion.
