Fine free flowing powder, consisting of homogeneous high-strength hollow spherical aluminosilicate particles. The production of stabilized cenospheres always requires careful selection, multi-stage processing of the original mineral raw materials.

The patented Granulite production technology allows to obtain a pure product without impurities, with excellent insulating characteristics – aluminosilicate hollow microspheres “Granulite ™” with a high content of Al₂O₃, high heat resistance and an excellent strength-to-density ratio.

Granulite™ cenospheres are used in aggressive and challenging thermobaric conditions, as a component of lightweight refractory and fire-retardant materials, energy efficient insulating building materials, with zero water absorption and low thermal conductivity.

icon

Technological processes run by electricity

icon

Complete absence of exhaust flue gases, low noise and dust levels

iso

With integrated raw material sourcing, production processes and logistics, the highest quality standards are ensured throughout the entire supply chain.

    Advantages of choice

    Efficiency of microspheres application

  • icon

    Economic effect

    Reduce the consumption rate of expensive binders and components in the compositions.

  • icon

    Spherical shape

    Spherical shape of the microspheres helps to reduce the viscosity of the resulting composites, improves the fluidity of materials, provides better distribution and efficient filling of particles, as well as reduced shrinkage.

  • icon

    Refractoriness

    The high melting point of microspheres makes them highly sought after by manufacturers of refractory materials, as it increases the thermal stability of materials to which microspheres are added, with relatively small linear changes.

  • icon

    Strength

    The unique combination of "superlightness" and "strength" of microspheres allows the production of lightweight cements with a density of up to 1200 kg/m³ with stable and controllable parameters.

    Due to their compressive strength, microsphere particles withstand high pressure conditions without loss of cement density and have higher strength compared to similar and more expensive industrial glass microspheres, providing approximately 25% weight loss compared to traditional mineral fillers.

  • icon

    Heat and sound insulation

    Due to their low sound and heat conductivity, microspheres can be used as excellent insulating materials.

  • icon

    Resistance to aggressive environment

    Can be used in a number of materials providing high resistance to acids and alkalis.
