As global energy demands rise and industries seek high-performance, lightweight materials, Omya introduces the Omyasphere® 900 Series—innovative hollow glass microspheres engineered to transform the polymer applications.


 

Combining ultra-low density, high compressive strength, and exceptional brightness, Omyasphere® 900 microspheres enable lighter, stronger, and more sustainable polymer solutions. Their versatility enhances a wide range of applications, including:


 

  • Lightweight plastics – SMC, BMC, RIM, pultrusion, and injection-molded components
  • Deep-sea technologies – Pipe insulation and buoyancy modules
  • Sensitizer for bulk and packaged explosives


 

Omyasphere® 900 Series opens new design possibilities that drive cost efficiency, performance, and sustainability - paving the way for the next generation of lightweight polymers.
