Features

• Since it’s made from recycled materials, Spherix® contributes the maximum benefit possible toward LEED project certification points for construction projects.
• Its controlled particle range and spherical shape mean that Spherix® takes less resin or binder to wet out a surface versus other fillers, resulting in low resin/binder demand.
• This dynamic allows high solids formulations, low shrinkage, and lower cost, delivering excellent return on investment.

Benefits for Plastics

• Reduced mixing time and energy consumption.
• Higher mixing, extrusion and molding rates.
• Enhanced surface smoothness, reduced shrinkage, warp and mold fouling.
• Greater product uniformity and batch-to-batch consistency.
• Excellent erosion and weather resistance.
• Excellent for use in fire-resistant applications.
