Precision Engineered Functional Fillers

Consistent, quality source of Recycled Glass Additives

Precision Glass Media™ delivers multiple benefits in polymer applications where enhanced performance, reduced resin usage and recycled content is desired including: - Paint, polyolefin, PVC, epoxy, sealants SBR, VAE, adhesives, urethane and more

Our high performance additives include:

High purity fumed silica

Our Precision Glass Media™ products are 100% recycled minerals produced from either pre or post-consumer sources depending on the customer’s needs.

All of our recycled glass filler products are free of crystalline silica, lead, arsenic, beryllium or other potentially harmful substances found in some fillers in use.

Using PRI 80 Mesh Post-Consumer Recycled Glass offers several advantages across various applications. Here are some key reasons to consider using it:

1. Sustainability & Environmental Benefits

Waste Reduction: Diverts glass from landfills, promoting a circular economy.
Lower Carbon Footprint: Requires less energy to process compared to virgin materials.
Eco-Friendly Alternative: Supports green building initiatives such as LEED certification.

2. Versatile Applications

Abrasive Blasting: Provides a clean, uniform surface for coatings and finishes.
Concrete & Terrazzo Additive: Enhances strength and aesthetics in construction materials.
Filtration Media: Used in water treatment for its durability and effectiveness.
Reflective & Decorative Uses: Adds texture and shimmer in flooring, countertops, and landscaping.

3. Performance & Efficiency

Consistent Particle Size: 80 mesh ensures a fine, uniform texture for precision applications.
Low Dust Production: Compared to traditional abrasives, it reduces airborne contaminants.
Non-Toxic & Silica-Free: Safer for workers and the environment.

4. Cost-Effective & Readily Available

Affordable Alternative: Often more cost-efficient than mined materials.
Local Sourcing Potential: Can support regional recycling programs and reduce transport costs.

Here are some key reasons to use PRI Fumed Silica:

1. Rheology Control & Thickening

Acts as a thixotropic agent, preventing sagging and settling in coatings, adhesives, and sealants.
Enhances viscosity and provides anti-settling properties in liquid formulations.

2. Reinforcement in Polymers & Elastomers

Improves the mechanical strength of rubber, silicone, and elastomers.
Enhances tear resistance, elongation, and tensile strength in composites.

3. Anti-Caking & Free-Flow Agent

Prevents powder clumping in food, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals.
Improves flow properties of powders and granulated materials.

4. Transparency & Optical Clarity

Used in coatings and adhesives to maintain clarity while adding strength and stability.
Ideal for applications requiring high transparency, such as optical-grade coatings.

5. Moisture Resistance & Absorption

Excellent moisture scavenger, preventing degradation in sensitive formulations.
Enhances shelf life of hygroscopic products.

6. Surface Modification & Hydrophobicity

Available in hydrophilic and hydrophobic grades, allowing customization based on application needs.
Hydrophobic versions enhance water repellency in coatings, paints, and personal care products.

7. Abrasion Resistance & Durability

Increases scratch and wear resistance in paints, coatings, and composite materials.
Improves abrasion resistance in industrial and automotive applications.

8. Chemical Stability & Compatibility

Chemically inert and compatible with a wide range of resins, polymers, and solvents.
Ideal for harsh environments where chemical resistance is required.

9. Controlled Release Applications

Used in pharmaceuticals and agriculture for controlled release of active ingredients.
Enhances dispersion and stability of bioactive compounds.

10. Enhanced Dispersion in Liquids

Improves homogeneous mixing of pigments, fillers, and resins.
Enhances uniformity and performance in high-solid formulations.
