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 ApplicationsRefractories, PVC flooring, oilwell cements, brake linings, Phenolics, Epoxies, Cast Polyesters, synthetic marbles, syntactic foams, BMC, SMC and FRP. Low density cements, shotcrete and gypsum board joint compounds. Automotive sound-dampening sheets.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
