Notes
Fillite "cenospheres" are lightweight, hollow, spherical, low density, free-flowing, alumino-silicate microspheres used as a versatile lightweight filler. The spheres are so tiny (as small as 5 microns) that the material appears to be a typical ceramic powder. For typical grades of Fillite 50-100% passes a 100 micron sieve.
