Fillite® SG (500) is a lightweight, free flowing, spherical, glass hard, inert, hollow silicate sphere. It is primarily used to reduce the weight of materials but also imparts further benefits in many applications such as filler loading and improved rheological properties as a direct attribute to their spherical shape.
