Material Notes:
Fillite is a glass hard, inert, hollow silicate sphere. Fillite is primarily used to reduce the weight of plastics, rubbers, resins, cement, etc., but also imparts 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.Typical ApplicationsSGHA 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. Other higher alumina grades are whiter in color and particularly suitable for gypsum board jointing compounds, veneering plasters, stuccos, sealants, coatings and cast resins.AdvantagesReduced weight, increased filler loadings, better flow characteristics, less shrinkage and warping. Improved physical properties in moldings, castings, and laminates, reduced water absorption, improved flame retardance, improved chemical resistance.All information provided by Fillite
