Why is the application of cenospheres more advantageous in coatings and paints?

Cenospheres used in coatings and paints have the following advantages: 1. The amount of resin is small/the potential to increase the amount of resin is great: because in any shape, the spherical shape has the smallest specific surface area, and cenospheres require the least amount of resin. The accumulation of particles has also been improved. The wide particle size distribution of cenospheres enables small microspheres to fill the gaps between large microspheres. The result...actually: high dosage, high solid content, lower VOC and reduced dosage of other ingredients; 2. Low viscosity/improved fluidity: Unlike irregular-shaped particles, cenospheres can easily roll between each other. This makes the system using cenospheres have lower viscosity and better fluidity. Moreover, the sprayability of the system has also been improved; 3. Hardness/Abrasion resistance: cenospheres are a kind of high-strength and hard microspheres, which can enhance the hardness, scrubbing resistance and abrasion resistance of the coating; 4. Excellent heat insulation effect: Due to the hollow spherical structure of the cenospheres, it has excellent heat insulation effect when filled in the paint; 5. Gloss control: As a kind of filler, cenospheres can reduce gloss to control turbulence. Even when the added amount is high, they can also eliminate the viscosity caused by ordinary matting agents. Significant increase and low cost; 6. Inertness: Cenospheres are composed of inert ingredients, so they have excellent durability, weather resistance, corrosion resistance and chemical resistance; 7. Opacity: The hollow spherical shape of the cenospheres slows light emission and scattering, which results in an increase in the hiding power of the paint; 8. Dispersibility: The dispersion of cenospheres is the same as mineral fillers. Due to the thick wall and high compressive strength of floating beads, it can withstand the processing of all kinds of mixers, extruders and molding machines; 9. No crystalline silicon pollution: Unlike other fillers, the content of crystalline silicon in the cenospheres is below the harmless level. Such cenospheres are not regarded as carcinogens and do not require special hazard warning signs. 10. High-solid industrial coatings: low viscosity, high dosage, reduce VOC, improve hardness, control gloss, increase wear resistance, sprayability, and reduce costs; 11. Water-soluble industrial topcoat: increase solid content, reduce film permeability, improve corrosion resistance, hardness, inertia, abrasion resistance, control gloss, and reduce cost; 12. Heat insulation, heat preservation, fireproof coating: high temperature resistance, flame retardant, and excellent heat insulation effect; 13. Maintenance coating: chemical resistance and corrosion resistance, durability, abrasion resistance, low coating permeability, high dosage and low cost; 14. Powder coatings: improve fluidity, hardness, abrasion resistance, control gloss, and reduce costs; 15. Coil coating: flexibility, corrosion resistance, gloss control, higher solid content, lower cost; 16. Primer: Improve salt spray performance, temperature and chemical resistance, increase solid content, and reduce costs; 17. Architectural coatings: durability, weather resistance, higher PVC, increase opacity, improve friction resistance and gloss uniformity; 18. Adhesive cement, mortar: Improve rheology, increase dosage, increase durability, and reduce shrinkage deformation.
