FAQs
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.
Kenospheres find applications in diverse industries, including paints, coatings, aerospace, and construction. Their versatility makes them ideal for a wide range of uses.
Kenospheres are eco-friendly, contributing to reduced VOC emissions and lower carbon footprints. They also minimize waste by extending the life of 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.
Yes, Kenospheres are chemically stable and compatible with a wide range of resins, offering long shelf life and stable viscosity.
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.
Absolutely, Kenospheres have a high melting point, making them suitable for high-temperature applications like refractories.
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.
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.
