3M Ceramic Microspheres W-210 High-Whiteness Ultra-Fine Solid Ceramic Microspheres for Coatings & Inks
Full Name & Product Positioning
Product Full Name: 3M W-210 High-Whiteness Ultra-Fine Solid Ceramic Microspheres
A white solid ceramic microsphere grade made of alkali aluminosilicate ceramic, with whiteness L value of 95 or above, particle size D50 approx. 3 μm and D90 approx. 12 μm, with fine and uniform particles. Commonly used for high-filling wear-resistant modification of coatings and inks, suitable for low-VOC environmentally friendly formulations. Used as a wear-resistant hardening filler for industrial maintenance paints, wear-resistant coatings, and ink systems, improving coating scrub resistance, abrasion resistance, and scratch resistance.

Key Advantages
· Good hardness and compressive performance, can improve scrub resistance, abrasion resistance, and scratch resistance of coatings and inks, addressing film wear, powder shedding, and gloss loss.
· High powder whiteness (L value ≥95) and ultra-fine uniform particles result in uniform coating color after filling, with minimal impact on the decorative effect of the coating base color.
· Controlled particle size distribution with low resin adsorption allows high filler loading, optimizes formulation systems, and is suitable for low-VOC environmentally friendly coating production.
· Heat resistant, corrosion resistant, aging resistant, and UV resistant; outdoor use can delay powdering, fading, and cracking.
· Spherical particles have good flowability and dispersibility, improving coating workability and film smoothness, reducing production defects.
