FAQs

What are Kenospheres and how do they differ from traditional fillers?

Kenospheres are hollow ceramic microspheres that serve as innovative alternatives to traditional fillers like calcium carbonate and silica. Unlike conventional fillers, Kenospheres offer benefits such as higher filler loading, reduced weight, improved thermal insulation, and enhanced strength-to-weight ratios. Additionally, their spherical shape ensures better flowability and even distribution in product formulations, ultimately reducing material costs.

In which industries are Kenospheres commonly used?

Kenospheres find applications in diverse industries, including paints, coatings, aerospace, and construction. Their versatility makes them ideal for a wide range of uses.

What are the environmental benefits of using Kenospheres?

Kenospheres are eco-friendly, contributing to reduced VOC emissions and lower carbon footprints. They also minimize waste by extending the life of products.

How do Kenospheres contribute to weight reduction in products?

The hollow structure of Kenospheres significantly reduces the weight of the final product. This is especially beneficial in automotive and aerospace applications where weight is a critical factor.

Are Kenospheres chemically stable and compatible with various resins?

Yes, Kenospheres are chemically stable and compatible with a wide range of resins, offering long shelf life and stable viscosity.

What grades of Kenospheres are available and how do I choose the right one for my application?

Kenospheres come in various grades, ranging from 100 to 700 μm. The choice of grade depends on your specific application needs, such as strength and thermal conductivity.

Can Kenospheres be used in high-temperature applications?

Absolutely, Kenospheres have a high melting point, making them suitable for high-temperature applications like refractories.

How do Kenospheres affect the mechanical properties of a composite material?

Incorporating Kenospheres in composite materials significantly elevates their mechanical properties. Initially, they enhance the material's thermal insulation capabilities. Additionally, their lightweight nature reduces the overall weight of the composite. Moreover, they contribute to improved stiffness and strength, yielding a robust material capable of withstanding various stressors. Furthermore, the inherent hardness of cenospheres translates to enhanced wear resistance. Consequently, the versatility of cenospheres makes them a favored choice for boosting the mechanical and thermal insulation properties of composite materials.

What is the optimal percentage of Kenospheres to add to my product formulation?

The optimal percentage of Kenospheres to incorporate into your product formulation largely depends on the specific application. Generally, it ranges from 5% to 20% by weight. However, if your final product is sold by volume, like in liters, it's crucial to measure Kenospheres by volume as well. Interestingly, Kenospheres can often replace traditional fillers on a 1-to-1 ratio by volume, making the transition seamless. Therefore, whether you're measuring by weight or volume, Kenospheres offer a versatile solution to meet your product's unique requirements.
