Fillite® Cenospheres
Fillite® cenospheres are a glass hard, inert, hollow silicate sphere. They are primarily used to reduce the weight of plastics, rubbers, resins, cement etc. but also impart further benefits in many situations. Many of the advantages from the use of Fillite®, including increased filler loading and improved rheology are directly attributed to the spherical nature of the material.
- Light weight
- Free Flowing
- Gray in colour
- Spherical
- Inert
- Refractories
- PVC Flooring
- Oilwell Cements
- Brake Linings
- Phenolics
- Epoxies
- Cast Polyesters
- Synthetic Marbles
- Syntactic Foams

SGHA has a higher alumina content than the normal Fillite® grades and has been specifically developed for higher temperature applications such as:
- Refractories
- Foundry applications
- High temperature resistant coatings
- Gypsum board jointing compounds
- Veneering plasters
- Stuccos
- Sealants
- Coatings
- Cast resins
- Reduced weight
- Increased filler loadings
- Better flow characteristics
- Less shrinkage and warping
- Improved physical properties in mouldings, castings and laminates
- Reduced water absorption
- Improved flame retardance
- Improved chemical resistance
