Spherix is Stronger
Process and Performance Aids for Plastics
Spherix is an aluminosilicate ceramic (ASC) product with unique advantages for increasingly competitive industries. With its signature spherical shape that promotes its performance-enhancing properties, Spherix® is a 100% sustainable post-industrial mineral.
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 material, resulting in low resin/binder demand. This dynamic allows high solids formulations, low shrinkage, and lower cost, delivering excellent return on investment.
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
Extreme erosion and weather resistance
Excellent for use in fire-resistant applications
