Microglass® glass flakes ®
- Chemical Family
- Glass Beads & Fibers
Microglass® glass flakes ® comes in scale-like glass flakes. Utilizing its own proprietary technology, NSG Group is the only manufacturer of glass flakes in Japan. Two types of glass are used for glass flakes E®, namely, C glass and E glass. C glass contains alkali components and has high acid resistance. E glass contains almost no alkali and so, it has high stability in resin and no electrical conductivity. For each type, NSG Group also offers surface treatment to improve compatibility with resins.

- Availability
- FLEKA® (granulated glass flake)
- FLEKA® is granulated glass flakes with E glass, having better compatibility with resins and excellent processability due to smooth feeding and less dust.
- FINEFLAKE®
- FINEFLAKE® glass flakes are suitable for fine and thin molded products with an average thickness of 0.4 to 1 μm.
- Technology
- Elastomers
- Plastics
- Main Advantages
- Thickness, particle size and surface treatment method can be selected according to construction method or location.
- Improved coating performance
- Grade surface-treated with an appropriate silane coupling agent to further improve coating performance.
- Good for places where lining is difficult
- Use of two-micron thickness type (RCF-2300) can reduce the film thickness, opening up an opportunity for locations where lining is difficult with the conventional five-micron thickness type.
- Improve gas permeability
- Gas permeability can be reduced by adding GLASFLAKE® to resins and rubber due to its properties.
