Spherix

Spherix manufactures solid aluminosilicate ceramic (ASC) microspheres that are an average of 3 micron and 100% post-industrial. They deliver unique benefits for plastics, rubber, paints, and coatings by reducing processing time, improving yield, and lowering product costs for all polymer products and components. The mechanical effect of the spherical morphology produces increased dispersion, enhanced opacity, and better flow characteristics while reducing the total energy required to process. This mechanical ball-bearing effect improves surface smoothness and edge tear, resulting in more efficient melt mixing. Spherix delivers value in performance and sustainability in all polymer systems. The microspheres facilitate better integration of recyclate as they improve the performance of off-spec polymers to the level of prime grade. Additional benefits of Spherix are dynamic reduction of motor load, greater production output, enhanced adhesion, and higher filler loadings. Spherix also has a portfolio of surface chemistries for optimized polymer compatibility, rheology, and targeted polymer properties. As ceramics, these products are mechanically robust, non-abrasive, chemically inert particles that withstand continuous temperatures up to 1700° F. Spherix environmentally conscious products provide new and innovative solutions for the polymer market and circular economy.
