FAQ

1. What are Microspheres?

Microspheres, also known as "Cenospheres," are aluminosilicate spheres with hollow interiors and solid thin walls. They typically range in color from gray to almost white and can reach sizes up to 500 microns (50mkm).

2. How are Microspheres produced?

Microspheres are derived from fly ash, a byproduct of coal combustion in power plants. Through specialized processing, the fly ash is transformed into these lightweight glass ceramic beads.

3. What are the applications of Microspheres?

Microspheres find applications in various industries including construction, oil and gas, automotive, aerospace, and more. They are used for purposes such as lightweight fillers in concrete, insulation materials, drilling fluids, and as additives in paints and coatings.

4. What are the benefits of using Microspheres?

The use of Microspheres offers several benefits including improved strength-to-weight ratio in materials, enhanced thermal and acoustic insulation properties, reduced density in composites, and increased efficiency in drilling operations.

5. Are Microspheres environmentally friendly?

Yes, Microspheres are considered environmentally friendly as they are derived from recycled materials (fly ash) that would otherwise be disposed of in landfills. Additionally, their use in various applications can contribute to energy conservation and waste reduction.

6. Are there any safety considerations when handling Microspheres?

While Microspheres themselves are generally safe to handle, it's important to follow appropriate safety protocols during their production and application, especially in industries such as construction and oil and gas where exposure to certain chemicals or materials may occur.
