EKO EXPORT SA specializes in acquiring and selling microspheres. The company imports raw materials mainly from Russia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine and, after processing at the production plant in Bielsko-Biała, it directs nearly 90% of production to recipients in Western Europe as well as to North America.
Microsphere - these are the grains of the slag formed during combustion of coal dust in large furnaces, most often in power plants. During the combustion of coal on the edge of the high temperature zone, the plastic path forms in the vicinity of gases granules (bubbles) with a diameter of 0 - 0.5mm containing gas in its interior. Granules (microspheres) transported together with the route to the settling pond, flow to the surface of the water. The microspheres drawn from water are directed to the drip chamber made of canvas cloth, thus losing excess water. After sufficiently long aging, when the water content drops to approx. 20%, the microspheres are packed into polypropylene bags and sold in this form for further processing.
The Company's offer currently includes two types of gray and white microspheres. Properties of microspheres
The most important properties of the microsphere include:
- high temperature resistance;
- neutral environmental impact of a natural product;
- good thermal and acoustic insulation;
- low specific weight.
Applications of microspheres
Due to its specific features, the microsphere finds the following applications:
* cars: composites, foundations, tires, casting molds, brake pads, decorative strips, body fillers, plastics, soundproofing materials
* energy and technology: caves of oil wells, drilling muds, industrial coatings, grinding materials, shells and composites of spacecrafts, explosives, propeller arms
* construction: Aluminum panels for high-rise buildings, special cements, masonry mortars, plasters, roofing materials, soundproofing panels, coatings, sprayed concrete
* plastics: BMC and SMC molding compounds, injection molding, modeling, extrusion, PVC floors, thin coatings, nylon, high density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, polypropylene
* ceramics: refractory materials, slips, roof tiles, fireproof bricks, aluminum cement, insulating materials, coatings.
