Applications-Cenosphere

Cenosphere applications offer many benefits over mined materials, primarily cost and weight reduction. Of their many uses, microspheres are used as light weight aggregate in oil well cements, sound proofing, thermal Insulation, interior and exterior paints, injection molding of plastics, automotive brake linings, and are even used by NASA in the nose of the Space Shuttle. Desirable properties include, controllable density for buoyancy, improved flow, excellent thermal insulation, light weight, and high strength. Their use is 100% environmentally friendly.

NPE- (5-500)
Particle size 5-500 microns, Density < 0.72 g/cc , sinker less than 2%.
