SPRAY UP APPLICATIONS

LIGHTWEIGHT FILLERS
CALCILIGHT - ULTRALIGHT - ONYXLIGHT
 
PRODUCT INFORMATION  
 
Lightweight fillers were developed mainly for applications, where a reduction of the weight of a part is required. These fillers are also used to enhance the thermal shock resistance of the synthetic polyester kitchen sinks.
 
CALCILIGHT is a light grey colored filler. Therefore, this product is mainly recommended for back pour applications. In this case a pigmented gel coat is sprayed onto the mold prior to casting. As another option a pigmented mix of CALCILIGHT and polyester resin is casted.
 
ULTRALIGHT is a white filler and therefore a clear layer gel coat can be applied. This product requires less pigment to become solid colored and may be veined as well.
 
ONYXLIGHT is a ATH based white filler with a finer particle size distribution which creates a smoother surface and a translucent effect of the final casting.
 
The use of LIGHTWEIGHT fillers results in a number of advantages:
- Lower weight of a part for easier installation and lower transport costs
- Improved impact and thermal shock resistance
- Improved insulation
- Lower resin demand
- Lower exothermic temperature
 
RESIN REQUIREMENT  
 
A standard marble resin can be used for CALCILIGHT and ULTRALIGHT. A clear resin designed for cultured onyx is recommended for ONYXLIGHT for best results. Filler to resin ratio is approx. 60 : 40. The reduction of the weight of a part ranges from 25 to 40% depending on the type of the filler which has been used.
