Additives: Brenntag extends cooperation for glass bubbles from 3M
Brenntag Specialties announces exclusive distribution agreement with 3M for glass bubbles as additives for coatings, plastics and building materials in France and the Iberian Peninsula.
Distribution company Brenntag has extended its existing exclusive distribution agreement with 3M for glass bubbles for the UK into France and the Iberian Peninsula. This evolving relationship between Brenntag Specialties and 3M came in force on 1 January 2025.
3M glass bubbles provide an alternative to conventional fillers in a variety of materials. These hollow glass microspheres are not only offering weight saving opportunities but are also contributing to functional benefits ranging from dimensional stability to solar reflectivity. 3M glass bubbles are made of soda-lime borosilicate glass, which is a true glass with inherently greater water and chemical resistance than other hollow glass microspheres made of sodium silicate glass, also known as water glass.
