Zirconia ball milling beads are high-strength, inert, hard, perfect and fine spherical particles. Application in coatings, pigments and inks can reduce costs, increase solid content, provide performance and improve process operating conditions.
Reduce viscosity and increase fluidity
Compared with other irregularly shaped abrasives, zirconia ball grinding beads are as easy to roll as steel balls between bearings. It has a high specific gravity, easy rolling and high kinetic energy, so the viscosity of the formula is reduced, the flow is increased, and the sprayability is improved.
Higher filling volume, lower cost
Compared with other shapes of abrasives, zirconia ball grinding beads have the smallest surface area to volume ratio. The amount of resin can be reduced, the amount of filler can be increased, and the smaller-volume microspheres fill the gaps between the larger-volume microspheres, which increases the solid content, reduces VOC, and reduces costs.
Hard and wear-resistant
Zirconia ball grinding beads have high hardness and wear resistance, making the final paint surface hard and scratch-resistant. The surface lasts like a new one, saving you the cost and time of maintenance and repainting. If traditional fillers are used, soft or irregular particles will quickly wear out or crack the surface.
Gloss control
Many gloss-controlled materials increase viscosity. However, the use of zirconia ball milling beads can significantly reduce the gloss without increasing the viscosity.
Effective barrier
The densely packed, hard, wear-resistant, and inert particles make the formula very durable and low in permeability, forming an effective barrier against harsh weather and chemical corrosion.
stability
Because its composition is inert ceramics, zirconia ball milling beads can resist the erosion of various chemicals, such as acid, alkali, and high-temperature resistance.
Radiation curing
Zirconia ball milling beads are transparent to ultraviolet rays below 25nm, and the UV energy can penetrate the entire coating, which can help the deep curing of UV curing coatings and improve construction efficiency. For the application of electron beam curing coatings, zirconia ball milling beads can increase viscosity and control flow.
Less equipment wear
Due to its high compressive strength, zirconia ball grinding beads are best added during production grinding. To improve the dispersion effect, sand milling, ball milling, and rolling are all possible. Compared with the use of other fillers of the same or lower hardness, the use of zirconium beads has less wear on the equipment.
