  • Markedly reduces system density and consumption of resin and other raw materials
  • Spherical shape distributes stress; improves impact resistance and reduces cracking and shrinkage
  • Low thermal conductivity and low dielectric constant, serving both insulation and electrical needs
  • Free-flowing and easy to disperse on conventional plastics and coatings equipment
  • Stable domestic supply; a drop-in alternative to comparable imported grades
Product description

This grade belongs to the Hainuo Low-Density series (true density 0.30–0.50 g/cm³). Produced from soda-lime borosilicate glass, it consists of micron-scale hollow spheres offering light weight with high strength, thermal insulation, chemical resistance and a low dielectric constant — a key functional filler in the advanced composites value chain.

The low-density series covers automotive SMC/BMC, electronic potting, 5G low-dielectric materials, oil-well cementing and drilling, and industrial insulating and anti-corrosion coatings. Within a density tier, HS = high strength, HL = economy light weighting, and -1/-2 = sub-grades.

NO5 FAQs


Frequently asked questions
What do the HS / HL / -1 / -2 suffixes mean?
HS = high-strength variant within the same density tier; HL = economy lightweight variant (wider crush-rate tolerance, better cost); -1/-2 = sub-grades of the same family, differing mainly in crush rate and particle size distribution.
How do I determine the loading?
It depends on the target density and performance required. Typical levels are 5%–20% for coatings and adhesives, 10%–30% for composites and 10%–40% for cement dry blends. Always validate with a lab trial first.
How is "compressive strength" defined?
It is the pressure at which the crush rate does not exceed the stated value (for example ≤30%). HN46 is rated 42 MPa (6,000 psi) with a crush rate ≤30%, meaning no more than 30% of the spheres fracture at 42 MPa static pressure.
What is the relationship between crush rate and survival rate?
Survival rate = 100% − crush rate. The published crush rate is an upper limit; the value actually observed after processing is also affected by shear, temperature and the matrix.
What does float rate mean?
Float rate is the proportion of spheres that float in water. It reflects sphere integrity and sealing: a higher float rate means fewer broken or open spheres, and therefore more stable buoyancy and insulation.
What are the minimum order quantity and lead time?
Standard grades are kept in stock with a minimum order of 25 kg (1 bag). Please contact sales for bulk lead times and custom grade development.
Can you customise a grade to a specific density or strength?
Yes. Send us your target true density, compressive strength and particle size distribution; our technical team will assess feasibility and arrange trial validation.
