Lightweight Cenosphere Fillers from China - Quality Suppliers & Factory for Casting and Plastic Applications

Cenosphere is a versatile lightweight material composed primarily of silica and alumina, filled with air or inert gas. This unique product is generated as a byproduct of coal combustion in thermal power plants. With a color range from gray to nearly white, cenospheres possess a density of approximately 0.4–0.8 g/cm3 (0.014–0.029 lb/cu in), which grants them exceptional buoyancy, As leading China suppliers and manufacturers, our factory produces high-quality cenospheres that are hard, rigid, and waterproof. Their non-toxic nature and excellent thermal insulation properties make them ideal for various applications, particularly as fillers in numerous products, Key characteristics of cenospheres include fine particles, lightweight composition, high strength, wear resistance, and durability under high temperatures. Discover the benefits of incorporating our cenospheric materials into your products for enhanced performance and efficiency

    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 4,000tons yearly. 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. We ship our Cenosphere to Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, America and South America etc markets, mainly used for Foundry & Casting industry, Plastic filter, Insulation material and Refractory materials. Based on professional production, timely delivery and strict quality control, we are confident in providing you with the most suitable Cenosphere.
