Lightweighting adhesives & sealants: Unlocking performance with hollow glass microspheres

Lightweight fillers such as hollow microspheres provide an effective way to reduce material weight while maintaining or enhancing key performance properties. In adhesives and sealants, these fillers enable significant density reduction improving rheology and application behaviour without compromising material properties such as mechanical strength. Furthermore, transportation of lighter materials is more efficient lowering related emissions.

In this webinar, we will present practical case studies demonstrating how hollow microspheres can successfully replace traditional fillers in adhesive and reactive sealant formulations. The results show substantial density reduction in finished products while maintaining performance.

Beyond formulation benefits, lightweight materials also contribute to more efficient logistics. Lower product weight can reduce transportation loads and associated CO₂ emissions, supporting industry efforts toward more sustainable value chains. Transportation contributes significantly to energy emissions, with goods transport alone responsible up to a quarter of such emissions.

Join us to explore practical applications on how hollow microspheres can help develop high-performance, lightweight adhesive and sealant systems with both technical and sustainability advantages.
