Glass beads/glass balls
The core material of glass beads is glass, primarily made from silica as the base ingredient, with the addition of sodium carbonate (to lower the melting point) and calcium carbonate (to enhance stability). Some beads may also contain small amounts of colorants—such as metal oxides like iron, cobalt, and chromium—which impart colors including red, blue, and green. Glass beads exhibit excellent light transmission, a brittle texture (easily broken upon impact), moderate hardness, low cost, and lack any special functional properties.

Detailed introduction
Product description:
Material: Silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Diameter: 1 mm to 100 mm;
Accuracy class: G1000
Hardness: HV500-700 or 46 HRC
Features: The core material of the glass sphere is glass, primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂). 2 ) is used as the base material, with sodium carbonate added (to lower the melting point) and calcium carbonate added (to enhance stability). A small amount of colorants—such as metal oxides like iron, cobalt, and chromium—may also be included, imparting colors such as red, blue, and green. This material exhibits good light transmission, a brittle texture (easily broken upon impact), moderate hardness, low cost, and lacks any special functional properties.
Applications: garment embellishments, children’s marbles, checkers pieces, decorative glass spheres for printing and crafting, festive decorative beads, craft ornaments, positioning beads for low-end devices, glass beads for detection in high-temperature environments, optical filter components for camera lenses, and light-filtering glass spheres for stage lighting.
