Product Details

3M™ Ceramic Microspheres White Grade W-410 are solid, engineered particles with a typical whiteness (L Value) of 90 or greater and an effective d90 particle size of 21 μm. These unique particles offer formulation flexibility and may allow formulations with lower VOCs due to lower resin demand – as well as excellent scrub and burnish resistance.
  • Increase solids and reduce resin demand while maintaining desired properties
  • Allows improved viscosity control
  • May allow formulations with lower Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
  • Scrub, burnish and sag resistance for longevity and improved paint performance
  • Enhanced packing and higher filler loading to help reduce costs
  • UV transparent down to 250 nm and radiation curable
