Applications
- Cenospheres are 30-85% lighter than most minerals commonly used as fillers. Density ranges from 0.40-0.95.
- Inertness permits cenospheres to be used in a wide variety of formulations.
- A strong outer shell is stronger than man-made glass spheres.
- Reduced shrinkage can be achieved.
- Spheres have the lowest surface area to volume. High loading is possible. Less
viscosity can be produced. - Flow characteristics can be improved in most applications.
- Thermal and insulation properties can be created or enhanced.
- Cenospheres remain stable beyond 1000 C.
