3M™ Performance Additives iM30K


These additives are 40 percent stronger than 3M’s previous leading high strength glass microspheres and, at 17 microns, are approximately half their size. 3M Performance Additive iM30K has a density of 0.6 g/cc and an isostatic crush strength of 30,000 psi.
Their low density and high strength make them ideal additive materials in the automotive, heavy truck, aerospace, electrical, electronics, appliance and durable goods industries, as well as in construction products such as polymer/wood composites and siding. iM30K can help:
- reduce part weight
- improve dimensional stability
- differentiate resin formulations
- improve processing throughput
