• Construction GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) Filler Materials

Cenospheres

• Cenospheres are lightweight, hollow, spherical particles that are a byproduct of coal combustion in power plants. They are a type of light filler that can be used in concrete and dry-mix systems to reduce weight and improve specific properties of the material.

  When added to concrete mixes, Cenospheres can improve the compressive strength of the concrete and reduce its weight. They can also help reduce the shrinkage of the concrete as it cures, enhancing its durability over time.

  Here are some benefits of using Cenospheres in concrete and dry-mix systems compared to other types of lightweight fillers:

  • Improved compressive strength: Cenospheres have a high compressive strength, which can help improve the overall strength of concrete or other building materials. This can help improve the durability of the material over time.
  • Improved thermal insulation: Cenospheres have a low thermal conductivity, which means they can help improve the thermal insulation properties of the material. This can be useful in applications with essential insulation, such as walls or roofing systems.
  • Cost-effective: Cenospheres are relatively inexpensive compared to other lightweight fillers, making them a cost-effective choice for many construction projects.
  • Improved workability: Cenospheres are lightweight and easy to mix into concrete or other building materials, which can help improve the workability of the material and make it easier to install.
