Low Density, High Purity Cenospheres for Construction, Coatings, and Polymer Applications

Cenospheres are lightweight, high purity hollow microspheres valued for their low density, uniform particle size, and consistent quality. Size-graded cenospheres with narrow particle size distribution and tight tolerance are widely used in lightweight concrete, cement composites, coatings, polymer fillers, and insulation systems. Their stable strength, low water absorption, and thermally stable characteristics make them technically suitable for refractory applications, engineered materials, and high-performance construction materials where density control, durability, and predictable performance are essential.

We are an India-based exporter of cenosphere and cenospheres supplying technically suitable grades to international buyers who require reliable lightweight fillers and engineered mineral additives. Our export program focuses on ceramic cenospheres selected for controlled density, particle distribution, and stable performance in demanding formulations.

International buyers in construction materials, oilfield services, polymers, coatings, and refractories require materials with predictable behavior in mixing, pumping, and curing. We supply low density cenospheres, high strength cenospheres, and graded cenospheres prepared to meet application-specific requirements. Our role as an exporter includes documentation, HS code classification guidance, Incoterms planning, port coordination, and export compliance support to ensure smooth cross-border transactions.

Size Range, Particle Distribution, and Tolerance Control

Size-graded, performance-tested cenospheres for international industrial applications
