Imagine the lightest of particles reducing the weight of the airplanes we travel in and enabling better overall fuel economy in the cars we drive. At 3M, our glass bubbles do that everyday. With a high strength-to-weight ratio, this technology is essential in lightweight materials like plastics and composites. Across industries, our glass bubbles are also used as filler alternatives that can reduce total system costs while providing enhanced product properties.
