Filler

Description
Chemical substance added to fill out a dry product formulation and to lower the concentration of other ingredients. A finely divided substance usually added to extend volume and sometimes to improve desired properties, such as whiteness, consistency, lubricity, density or tensile strength. Used to provide bulk, increase strength, increase hardness, or improve resistance to impact. Used to extend a material and to reduce its cost by minimizing the amount of more expensive substances used in the production of articles. Used to fill cavities or tighten joints. Relatively inert and normally non-fibrous. Also referred to as a bulking agent; pigment extender; inert filler; or impact modifier.
