Lightweight Cenosphere Fillers for Casting Applications - Top China Suppliers & Factory Direct Solutions

Cenosphere is a lightweight and eco-friendly material, primarily composed of silica and alumina, and filled with air or inert gas. This byproduct of coal combustion is typically generated in thermal power plants. Ceno spheres come in various shades, ranging from gray to nearly white, and have a density of approximately 0.4–0.8 g/cm³ (0.014–0.029 lb/cu in), providing remarkable buoyancy, These high-quality cenospheres are characterized by their hardness, rigidity, and low weight. They are waterproof, non-toxic, and offer excellent thermal insulation properties, making them valuable fillers in numerous applications, As a leading manufacturer in China, our factory specializes in producing top-grade cenospheres. We are proud to be recognized as reliable suppliers in the industry, delivering superior products that meet diverse customer needs. With features such as fine particle size, hollow structure, high strength, wear resistance, and high-temperature endurance, our cenospheres are an ideal choice for various industrial applications

    Cenospheres Production and Our Factory

    The process of burning coal in thermal power plants produces fly ash containing ceramic particles made largely of alumina and silica. They are produced at temperatures of 1,500 to 1,750 °C (2,730 to 3,180 °F) through complicated chemical and physical transformation. Their chemical composition and structure varies considerably depending on the composition of coal that generated them.
    Our cenosphere factory established in 1980, manufacturing around 4,000 tons yearly. Based on professional production, timely delivery and strict quality control, we are confident in providing you with the most suitable Cenosphere.

    Strict Quality Control

    During the production, we withdraw and test the sample every half an hour, control the size distribution, true density, bulk density, whiteness and floating ratio very strictly.

    Global Supply Chain

    We ship our Cenosphere to Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, America and South America etc markets.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are Cenospheres and how are they formed?

    Cenospheres are hollow ceramic microspheres made largely of alumina and silica. They are produced as a byproduct of coal combustion in thermal power plants at temperatures of 1,500 to 1,750 °C (2,730 to 3,180 °F) through complex physical and chemical transformations.

    What is your factory's production capacity and experience?

    Established in 1980, our factory has over four decades of experience, manufacturing approximately 4,000 tons of high-quality cenospheres yearly with strict quality controls.

    How do you ensure the quality of your Cenospheres?

    During production, we withdraw and test samples every half an hour. We strictly monitor and control size distribution, true density, bulk density, whiteness, and floating ratio to ensure consistent, high-standard outputs.

    What are the primary applications of Cenospheres?

    They are mainly used in the Foundry & Casting industry, plastic filters, insulation materials, refractory materials, oil drilling, lightweight castables, and high-temperature/high-voltage insulators.

    What is the typical chemical composition of your Cenospheres?

    Our cenospheres typically consist of 57–60% SiO2, 30–33% Al2O3, 2.4–3.2% Fe2O3, and smaller fractions of CaO, K2O, TiO2, and H2O, with a Low Loss on Ignition (LOI) of 0.85–1.15%.

    What packaging and shipping options do you offer?

    We supply cenospheres in 25kg, 500kg, 550kg, and 600kg bags. Shipping capacities range from 10-12 Mt for a 20'GP container to 22-26 Mt for a 40'HQ container. We regularly export to Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, America, and South America.
