MIRAGLASS MX INFORMATION
This is a micronized produced from a variety of recycled glass sources. It has consistent physical properties making this an inexpensive filler that does not contain any crystalline silica. This version is translucent and will not alter pigmentation of opaque or colored formulas while also reducing glossiness. In concrete applications it will serve as a pozzolan material. Other applications include, coatings, adhesives, rubbers, composites, cement and many other applications. In concrete application
