The Omyasphere 300 series is a lightweight filler based on closed-cell expanded perlite, with a very low density and precise particle size distribution providing important benefits in synthetic/ cultured marble.
The Omyasphere 300 series combines very low apparent density with high brightness, meaning less weight for the same volume. This reduction in weight will benefit the handling process and total production cost.
The grades have been developed with precise particle size distributions and coatings tailored to resin type in order to reduce absorption and improve matrix viscosity.
It is well known that mineral casting and polymer concrete have a density above 2000 kg/m3, which hinders the handling process. Moreover, the heavy weight of traditional synthetic marble applications (i.e. shower bases, vanity tops, sinks, bathtubs) requires more labor for transportation and installation than lighter weight alternatives.
Omyasphere 300 series can help you capture those savings by reducing up to 40% of the weight in cultured/ synthetic marble elements.
