The use of glassflake to provide abrasion resistance can be evidenced in a number sectors including: moulded plastics components in automotive interiors and the specialist protective coatings used to line pipework. The internal surface of the pipe lining is protected by glassflake from abrasion by impact from particulate matter carried in the fluid, maintaining a smooth surface.
Glassflake is also used extensively in flooring top coats, where smaller micronised glassflake demonstrates optimal packing, to reduce the abrasion impact of heavy vehicle and foot traffic in warehouses and production facilities.
