Product Information
3M™ Glass Bubbles
K Series
S Series
Introduction
Typical Properties
3M™ Glass Bubbles are engineered hollow glass microspheres
that are alternatives to conventional fillers and additives such as
silicas, calcium carbonate, talc, clay, etc., for many demanding
applications. These low-density particles are used in a wide range
of industries to reduce part weight, lower costs and enhance
product properties.
Not for specification purposes
3M Glass Bubbles K Series and S Series are specially
formulated for a high strength-to-weight ratio. This allows greater
survivability under many demanding processing conditions, such
as injection molding. They also produce stable voids, which results
in low thermal conductivity and a low dielectric constant. 3M
glass bubbles are available in a variety of sizes and grades to help
you meet your product and processing requirements.

K Series
The chemically stable soda-lime-borosilicate glass composition
of 3M glass bubbles provides excellent water resistance to create
more stable emulsions. They are also non-combustible and nonporous, so they do not absorb resin. And, their low alkalinity gives
3M glass bubbles compatibility with most resins, stable viscosity
and long shelf life.

The unique spherical shape of 3M glass bubbles offers a number
of important benefits, including: higher filler loading, lower
viscosity/improved flow and reduced shrinkage and warpage. It
also helps the 3M glass bubbles blend readily into compounds
and makes them adaptable to a variety of production processes
including spraying, casting and molding.

Particle Size (continued)
Hard Particles (3M QCM 93.4.3)
No hard particles (e.g. glass slag, flow agent, etc.) greater than U.S. number 40 (420 microns) standard sieve will exist.
Oversize Particles (3M QCM 93.4.4)
For K1, K15, K20 and K25 glass bubbles: Using a 10 gram sample on a U.S. number 80 standard sieve (177 microns), a maximum of five (5) percent by weight glass
bubbles will be retained on the sieve.
Minimum storage conditions should be unopened cartons in an
unheated warehouse.
Under high humidity conditions with an ambient temperature
cycling over a wide range, moisture can be drawn into the bag
as the temperature drops and the air contracts. The result may
be moisture condensation within the bag. Extended exposure to
these conditions may result in “caking” of the 3M glass bubbles
to various degrees. To minimize the potential for “caking” and
prolong the storage life, the following suggestions are made:
1. Carefully re-tie open bags after use.
For K37 and K46 glass bubbles:
Using a 10 gram sample on U.S. number 100 standard sieve (149 microns), a maximum of one (1) percent by weight glass
bubbles will be retained on the sieve.
2. If the polyethylene bag is punctured during shipping or
handling, use this bag as soon as possible, patch the hole,
or insert the contents into an undamaged bag.
For S15, S32, S35, S38, S38HS, S60, S60HS and iM30K glass
bubbles:
Using a 10 gram sample on a U.S. number 140 standard sieve (105 microns), a maximum of three (3) percent by weight glass
bubbles will be retained on the sieve.
For S22 glass bubbles:
Using a 10 gram sample on a U.S. number 200 standard sieve (74 microns), a maximum of five (5) percent by weight glass
bubbles will be retained on the sieve.
3. During humid summer months, store in the driest, coolest
space available.
4. If good storage conditions are unavailable, carry a
minimum inventory, and process on a first in/first out basis.
Dusting problems that may occur while handling and processing
can be minimized by the following procedures:
1. For eye protection wear chemical safety goggles. For
respiratory system protection wear an appropriate NIOSH/
MSHA approved respirator. (For additional information
about personal protective equipment, refer to Material
Safety Data Sheet.)
Appearance (3M QCM 22.85)
White to the unaided eye.
Flow (3M QCM 22.83)
2. Use appropriate ventilation in the work area.
3M™ Glass Bubbles remain free flowing for at least one year from
the date of shipment if stored in the original, unopened container
in the minimum storage conditions of an unheated warehouse.
3. Pneumatic conveyor systems have been used successfully
to transport 3M glass bubbles without dusting from
shipping containers to batch mixing equipment. Static
eliminators should be used to help prevent static charges.
Labeling
3M glass bubbles will be packaged in suitable containers to help
prevent damage during normal handling and shipping. Each
container will be labeled with:
1. Name of manufacturer
3M glass bubble breakage may occur if the product is improperly
processed. To minimize breakage, avoid high shear processes such
as high speed Cowles Dissolvers, point contact shear such as gear
pumps or 3-roll mills, and processing pressures above the strength
test pressure for each product.
2. Type of 3M glass bubbles
3. Lot number
4. Quantity in pounds
Storage and Handling
To help ensure ease of storage and handling while maintaining
free flowing properties, 3M™ Glass Bubbles have been made
from a chemically stable glass and are packaged in a heavy-duty
polyethylene bag within a cardboard container.
Diaphragm pumps have been used to successfully convey 3M glass bubbles. Vendors should be consulted for specific recommendations.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
CM 9007 is an admixture made of advanced silicon emulsion formulated to be added during the mixing of cement,
water, and other aggregate medium. This liquid emulsion is recommended to be added by completely mixing with the
total water required for hydration prior into adding to the mix. This result to a complete homogenous mix, and ensures
efficient bonding to silicates during the hydration of cement.
CM 9007 will immediately bond with silica and block any fluid passages in the concrete matrix rendering it completely
sealed from any type of fluid penetration. The effect will prevent many other types of fluid to be blocked penetrating
its capillary walls. A microscopic membrane will form but will not exceedingly affect the surface tension of the walls,
thus enabling other coating materials to be applied. The gloss and sheen of the surface will not change.
CM 9007 provides long lasting protection against water vapor permeability, and resistance to staining and/or color
deterioration. The product will naturally protect color, and continuously provide a breathable porous substrate.
TECHNICAL DATA:
Appearance of Liquid: Opaque milky liquid
Specific Gravity: 0.982 – 0.986
pH: 8.0 – 9.0
Flash point, °C / °F: 90 / 194
Freeze thaw limit stability, °C / °F: 0 / 32
Shelf Life: 1-Year
Meets Federal and State VOC limit requirements for volatile organic components (VOC). Complies with South Coast
Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) VOC limit.
ADDITION RATES:
Addition of CM 9007 can vary depending on the degree of water repellency required. Our recommended start rates
are as follows:
5.0 to 15.0 fluid oz / 100 - lbs of cement
150 to 450 milliliters / 100 – lbs of cement
Important Note: From out trials we found it effective to add CM 9007 as a solution in water (minimum of 50% water
required for hydration), particularly for low water and cement mix ratio prior into adding to the mix. All the aggregates
and cement must be added first, prior into adding CM 9007 in water solution. Do not intermix with other admixtures,
or add simultaneously to cause direct contact of fluids.
MIX CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENT DURING CURING:
The concrete mix must be always homogenous to ensure good workability. For mix design formulations using regular
or super plasticizers commonly made from polycarboxylates, tests must be performed to hold water by at least 25%
of water from the mix. If additional water is required, add in increments to check for desired workability.
The material will conform to its original phase rheology, and will not alter properties of fluidity. For regular concrete
the slump will not change. However, if preparing an established SCC (self-consolidating concrete) mix with desired
flow, the water to cement mix ratio may need to be reduced.
The concrete may appear blotchy within 24-hours due to evidence of bonding occurring in the concrete matrix.
However, this will completely normalize to its natural color appearance as it continues to cure, will change rapidly in a
few hours. To accelerate expose the casted concrete to the sun to facilitate reaction of silicate bonding.
STORAGE AND DISPOSSAL:
The product must be stored in a cool and dry place, always seal container after using. The shelf-life of the product is
at least 1-year in 77 deg F storage condition, and longer depending on conditions. Avoid the material from freezing,
before using mix the product thoroughly until appearance is homogenous in appearance. Empty containers must be
disposed according to you local city, state, and federal guidelines. Do not throw liquid portions to any drains, avoid
spills, and always protect the environment.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION DB6510, 6520 Clear Sealers: Mason’s Select Clear Concrete Sealers are durable, nonyellowing, 100% acrylic concrete and masonry sealers. They block out moisture while providing excellent resistance to hot tire
pick-up, UV rays, gasoline, oils, and other chemicals. May be used as a topcoat over Mason’s Select Transparent
Concrete Stain to provide added protection. Available in Satin (DB6510) and Gloss (DB6520) finish.
WHERE TO USE: Apply Clear Concrete Sealers to concrete patios, porches, steps, sidewalks, driveways, garage and
basement floors, stained concrete, unglazed tile, untreated brick, exposed aggregate, and other concrete or masonry surfaces.
KEY FEATURES:
WATER BASED: Easy soap and water clean up.
100% ACRYLIC RESIN: Transparent Concrete Stain and Clear Concrete Sealer contain the highest quality 100% Acrylic
Resin. This resin system offers outstanding adhesion, durability, color retention and water resistance. It also offers resistance
to wear from foot and vehicle traffic.
APPEARANCE: Transparent Concrete Stain is formulated in eight Factory Designed Colors, which give concrete the same
type of beautiful multi-hued appearance that is found in many natural stone surfaces. Sixteen additional Custom Intermix
Colors may be achieved by intermixing two of the standard colors together at a one-to-one ratio.
Clear Gloss and Clear Satin Concrete Sealers are truly clear coatings. They do not yellow. Clear Gloss gives a clear glossy
“wet look” appearance, while Clear Satin gives a clear matte finish.
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE: These stains and sealers have excellent resistance to chemicals such as brake fluid, transmission
fluid, motor oil, salt water, bleach, and gasoline.
HOT TIRE PICK-UP RESISTANCE: These stains and sealers are specially formulated to resist lifting from hot automobile tires.
MILDEWCIDE: These stains and sealers contain a highly effective mildewcide to inhibit the growth of mildew on the stained
surface.
V.O.C. COMPLIANT: These stains and sealers comply with all current V.O.C. regulations.
SURFACE PREPARATION: The success of a coating for concrete is always dependent on the proper surface preparation of
the concrete. The following steps will help you reach maximum results and longevity.
Page 1 of 4: PDG/6000-6500/10/31/03
ALWAYS START WITH A CLEAN AND DRY SURFACE: Concrete surfaces must be free of dirt, wax, grease, oil and other

contaminants. Clean entire surface with Mason’s Select Concrete Cleaner and rinse thoroughly. New concrete must cure for
at least 30 days prior to application. New or old, concrete must be dry prior to application. To test for moisture tape an 18”x18”
polyethylene sheet approximately 4 mils thick over the concrete. Leave in place for 16 hours. If there is no moisture
accumulated on the sheet you may proceed, if there is moisture then allow concrete to dry for several days and retest.
ALWAYS START WITH A ROUGH SURFACE: Because the product must penetrate to adhere, avoid surfaces that have been
previously coated, have been treated with a release or curing agent (e.g., “tilt-up” structures), or other contaminants. Test bare
concrete surface for absorption by sprinkling with water. Bare concrete surfaces that are especially smooth, non-porous or do
not readily absorb water must be profiled (process of roughening up the surface). Profiling smooth concrete will allow coating to
penetrate and adhere to the concrete. Coatings can peel or be rapidly worn away from smooth concrete. It is imperative to the
performance of coatings that the surface be coarse enough to allow penetration and adhesion. Profiling can be achieved by
etching, sanding or sand blasting. Concrete surfaces must be rough to the touch or have a texture as rough as 120-grit
sandpaper. This allows the coating to penetrate and adhere properly. Profiling or Etching the concrete prior to staining is highly
recommended for maximum product performance.
ETCHING: Use Mason's Select Safe Solution non-corrosive etching solution to etch and roughen concrete before staining or
coating. Simply apply product, let it work for thirty minutes, scrub with a push broom and rinse with water. Follow all label
directions and neutralize surface with Mason's Select Concrete Cleaner.
NOTE: Clear Sealers (Satin & Gloss) may be applied directly over Transparent Concrete Stain that is clean and dry.
PRODUCT PREPARATION: Stir thoroughly from bottom to top of container and occasionally during application. DO NOT
SHAKE. Shaking will create excessive air in product. If shaken, allow air to escape product before application.
THINNING-CLEAR SEALERS (SATIN & GLOSS): No thinning required.
THINNING-TRANSPARENT CONCRETE STAIN: Thinning required. Add 1 quart of water to 1 gallon of Transparent Concrete
Stain and stir thoroughly. Thinning is necessary to achieve proper penetration and appearance. TEST AREA: Always apply
product to a small test area before staining entire project to ensure desired color and appearance. NOTE: Color of wet
Transparent Concrete Stain is much different from color when dry.

APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS: Apply stain or sealer when the temperature is above 50 F. and below 90 F. Do not apply in
extreme heat of day or in direct hot sunlight. Concrete must be cool enough to allow full product penetration. Do not apply
product if rain is likely to occur within 24 hours. Cover all vegetation, or nearby areas not to be stained or sealed. Different
concrete types, textures and natural colors will affect finished tone. Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
APPLICATION -TRANSPARENT CONCRETE STAIN: For best results apply first coat using a pump-up type sprayer or
airless sprayer. NOTE: Attempting to apply the first coat solely with a brush, roller or pad applicator may result in lap lines since
the concrete may absorb the first coat faster than a brush, roller, or pad applicator can supply wet stain. When spraying, adjust
nozzle to the widest possible spray pattern. Spray stain with a broad sweeping motion just until it begins to “wet up” (get wet)
on the surface. Note that the color may not be apparent at this point, but will appear as the product dries. Do not over apply or
soak concrete. Do not allow product to pool or puddle on surface. One lightly sprayed coat is all that is necessary using this
application method. If desired a second coat may be applied after the first coat has dried for 4 hours. A second coat will result
in a darker tone than the first coat and offer added protection. A second coat should be applied as a thin coat since the first
coat has already sealed the concrete. The second coat can be applied by brush, roller, pad applicator, pump-up or airless
sprayer. If using a pump-up or airless sprayer, the second coat must be spread out to a smooth, even finish using a brush,
roller, or pad applicator. The staining process should go quickly, and we recommend that once a project is started it is
completed as one continuous process. If it is necessary to pause or stop long enough that the stain will dry, it is best to pick a
natural stopping point such as an expansion joint (groove) in the concrete.
APPLICATION -CLEAR SATIN AND CLEAR GLOSS CONCRETE SEALER: Apply with brush, roller, pad applicator, pumpup or airless sprayer. When spraying, adjust nozzle to widest possible spray pattern. Spray sealer with a broad sweeping
motion until it begins to “wet up” (get wet) on the surface. Do not allow product to pool or puddle on surface. One coat is all that
is necessary using this application method. NOTE: For added gloss and protection a second coat of Clear Gloss Concrete
Sealer may be applied after the first coat has dried for 4 hours. The second coat can be applied by brush, roller, pad applicator,
pump-up or airless sprayer. If using a pump-up or airless sprayer, the second coat must be spread out to a smooth, even finish
using a brush, roller, or pad applicator.

or pump-up sprayer. Use synthetic brushes or rollers only. Apply product at temperatures above 50 F. and below 90 F.
Do not apply in direct sunlight if possible. Keep Cleaner wet on surface by occasionally misting with water. Cleaner is not
effective when dry. If product dries on surface misting with water will reactivate its power.
GENERAL CLEANING & NEUTRALIZING: Mix 1 gallon of Concrete Cleaner to 3 gallons of water for cleaning concrete prior
to application of Transparent Concrete Stain or Clear Concrete Sealers. Product must be diluted at least to this ratio for pumpup sprayer application. Allow cleaner to remain wet on surface approximately 15 to 30 minutes before scrubbing with a bristle
brush or hard bristled broom. Rinse thoroughly. NOTE: Use this application method for neutralizing acid etched concrete
surfaces. One gallon will clean a total of 400-800 sq. ft. when diluted at a ratio of 1 gallon cleaner to 3 gallons water.
HEAVY DUTY CLEANING (OIL and GREASE): Concrete Cleaner is a thickened formula and should be used undiluted for
difficult areas such as oil and grease spots. Allow cleaner to remain wet on surface approximately 15 to 30 minutes before
scrubbing and rinsing. Old oil and grease spots may require more than one application for complete removal. One gallon will
clean a total of 100-200 sq. ft. when used as is (undiluted).
MAINTENANCE CLEANING: Mix 1/2 gallon of Concrete Cleaner to 3-1/2 gallons of water. Maintenance cleaning requires a
milder solution of cleaner to prevent removal of the existing coating. Apply product with brush, roller or pump-up sprayer. Allow
product to remain wet on surface approximately 15 minutes. Scrub with bristle brush and rinse with a garden hose. One gallon
will clean a total of 800-1600 sq. ft. when diluted at a ratio of 1/2 gallon cleaner to 3-1/2 gallons water.
RINSING: Test a small area by scrubbing with a bristle brush to determine if contaminants are loose and the surface is ready
for rinsing. When ready, scrub the surface with a firm bristle brush or long handled push broom. Rinse thoroughly with water
using a garden hose or pressure washer. Rinse any residue from plants.
