Notes

A hollow sphere of mullite ceramic, fired at 1740C in sizes of 3.0-5.0mm, 1.5-3.0mm, 0.5-1.5mm. It has very low density, low thermal conductivity and high crushing strength. Its main use is in refractories, but it is also suitable as a bedding material for the firing of delicate ceramic objects of all types.

Refractoriness: 1875/1900C
