Typical Cenosphere Applications
Plastics of many types, Paints, Coatings, Oil well drilling muds and cements,
Refractories, Insulating materials, Ceramics, Marine compounds, Floatation materials,
Textured construction materials, Gunite, Specialty cements, Recreation equipment,
Automotive components.
Cenosphere Advantages
Cost saving, reduced weight, increased filler loadings, improved flow
characteristics, less shrinkage and warpage, less water absorption,
buoyancy, flame retardance, chemical resistance, sound and thermal insulation,
density management.
-
Cost Effective
-
Cenospheres are 30-85% lighter than most minerals that are commonly used as fillers.
-
Densities range from 0.50-0.90 g/cc
-
A strong ceramic outer shell
-
Cenospheres are inert
-
Reduced shrinkage.
-
Spheres have the lowest surface area to volume.
-
High loading is possible.
-
Lower viscosities can be produced.
-
Rheology can be improved in most applications.
-
High build/Low slump
-
Improved spreadablity.
-
Thermal and sound properties created or enhanced.
-
Stable beyond 1000°C.
