WHY SUPER FILL?
Super Fill is utilized as a High Performance Filler Material. Super Fill can replace other fillers such as: Glass Spheres, Calcium Carbonate, Clays, Talc, and various Silicas. Super Fill can also be utilized as an extender in many resin application
FILLER or "HIGH PERFORMANCE FILLER"
Why are Super Fill a High Performance Filler?
LOW DENSITY: When density counts, Super Fill can be the answer with a density ranging from 0. 50 to 0. 90. Compared to most ground minerals and other resins, Super Fill are 30% - 85% lighter,
IMPROVED FLOWABILITY: With the spherical shape of Super Fill, the flow rate will improve greatly for most applications.
LOW RESIN DEMAND / HIGH LOADING POTENTIAL: Spheres have the lowest surface area to volume ratio achievable. With their spherical shape, Super Fill produces far less viscosity.
LOW SHRINKAGE: Super Fill is one of the few products in the filler industry today that can meet the requirements for low shrinkage. When used in high volume loadings, Super Fill can reduce shrinkage.
STRENGTH: Super Fill is three to ten times stronger than most man- made hollow glass spheres. Unlike glass spheres, Super Fill can produce a higher compressive strength due to a stronger outer shell.
INERTNESS: Super Fill can be utilized in solvents, organic chemicals, water, acids, or alkalis while maintaining their integrity.
THERMAL STABILITY: Because Super Fill is formed in the boilers they are thermally stable in temperatures exceeding 1, 800 degrees F.
COST EFFECTIVE: Super Fill is 50% - 200% less expensive than man- made hollow glass spheres. Compared to less expensive fillers, Super Fill are cost effective based on volume loading and weight reduction.
Hollow spheres have been used for more than 20 years in the western countries to improve the properties of a variety of finished consumer products. They were first introduced in the United States as an extender for plastic compounds, as they are compatible with plastisols, thermoplastics, latex, polyesters, epoxies, phenolic resins, and urethanes. Synthetic foams made with hollow spheres have demonstrated superior mechanical properties when compared to those manufactured with fabricated microspheres. The compatibility of hollow spheres with specialty cements and other building materials such as coatings and composites was also quickly identified. Since that time hollow spheres have been used in a wide variety of other products, including sports equipment, insulations, automobile bodies, marine craft bodies, paints, and fire and heat protection devices.
