Fillers for Synthetic resins, Silicone, Plaster & Cement, Paints

With fillers you can thicken synthetic resins to be able to apply them with a spatula or to work vertically with the masses. You can use fillers to make silicone moulds more stable so that they are less sensitive to pressure, but also less pliable. Or you can make your objects and moulds made of plaster, cement or synthetic resins lighter. Also pigments belong to the fillers, but you will find them in a separate section. 

.

If you mix metal powder as a filler with synthetic resins, you can produce objects and sculptures in the so-called cold casting process that look very similar to a real metal casting, but are very easy to produce without having to laboriously handle molten metals. Cold-cast objects can even be ground and patinated.

Which fillers do you use for what?

For the cold casting process: synthetic resin + metal powder

.

To make silicone more (pressure)resistant: silicone + aerosil

.

To make moulds and objects lighter: Fillite micro hollow spheres + polyester, acrylic, epoxy, polyurethane resin, silicone, plaster, concrete

To thicken resins (alternative to a thixotropic agent): Synthetic resin + talc, Aerosil or Fillite

.

To thicken paints: depending on the type of paint, e.g. Aerosil or marble powder

.

To thicken adhesives: adhesive + Aerosil

.

To make casting compounds e.g. for tiles: White cement + marble powder

.

For stabilising polyester or acrylic resin moulds: Synthetic resin + glass fibre short fibres
