Cellular Microsphere Filler: Standard Chemical Analysis

Cellular Microsphere Filler
Sil-Cell is an ultra-light, naturally Sil-Cell is an excellent

Overview
Structure
occurring, Aluminum Silicate, functional filler because of its
microcellular filler that is inert, inert properties, low density
inorganic, non-toxic and pH and structure. The multicellular

creating a structure of multicellular tensile strength versus other
spherical bubbles. types of micro fillers.
Sil-Cell is exclusive to Silbrico Due to its low effective specific

and manufactured at our facilities gravity (E.S.G.), it is an

as well as in Australia. agent for composites. Sil-Cell’s
E.S.G. ranges from 0.17 to
0.336 g/cm3 compared to
calcium carbonate type fillers
Uses
Sil-Cell has been found that range from 2.5 to 2.8
