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
