HENGYUAN is a professional soda-lime glass balls factory specializing in the manufacturing and supply of precision glass balls, glass spheres, and soda-lime glass beads for global industrial applications. With advanced production capabilities, strict quality inspection systems, and OEM customization services, we provide stable, cost-effective, and high-performance glass ball solutions for engineering, instrumentation, chemical processing, and mechanical systems.

As one of the reliable suppliers in the global industrial market, HENGYUAN focuses on delivering consistent spherical accuracy, excellent chemical stability, and superior surface finishing, ensuring our glass balls perform reliably in demanding environments such as flow control systems, valves, bearings, and laboratory equipment.

Soda-lime glass balls are made primarily from SiO₂ (silica), Na₂O (soda), and CaO (lime), forming the most widely used industrial glass material in the world. According to industrial material data, soda-lime glass accounts for the majority of global glass production due to its cost efficiency and stable physical properties.
These glass spheres are known for their chemical stability, hardness, optical clarity, and dimensional consistency. They are widely used as industrial precision components in valves, pumps, measuring instruments, and mechanical assemblies.Typical material properties include:

– Density: 2.4 – 2.6 g/cm³

– Hardness: Mohs 5.5 – 6.5

– Non-magnetic structure

– Good corrosion resistance

– Low friction coefficient

Soda-lime glass offers a balanced combination of performance and cost efficiency, making it ideal for mass industrial applications.
Key properties include:1. Mechanical Properties
