Spex•Lite® Lightweight Fillers and Lightweight Aggregates

Spex•Lite®  saw a market need for an ultra lightweight filler material with certain performance characteristics that was not available on the market. Leveraging his decades of experience selling competitive products and his chemical engineering background, Ned invented and was awarded several patents for Spex•Lite® Ultra Light Filler Beads, which resemble miniature “Nerf” balls. We are continually amazed at myriad uses of Spex•Lite® Ultra Light Filler Beads by our customers.

Spex•Lite® is Better Business Bureau Accredited and offers the most complete line of lightweight fillers on the market. Spex•Lite® Polymer Foam Beads are created from various polymers and are formed as unique, closed cell, foamed beads having extremely low volume densities. We continue to listen to our customers and develop new products of various sizes, densities, shapes, compositions, strengths and more to optimize customers' performance and cost requirements. 

Spex•Lite® Beads provide increased filler volumes, substantial insulation properties, improved buoyancy, and likely cost reductions. In addition, Spex•Lite® Beads offer unbeatable weight reduction and longevity, which enables lower product weights than you would get with ordinary lightweight aggregates. 

Spex•Lite® Ultra Light Filler Beads are an extremely efficient and cost effective filler. For example, adding roughly 1% of Spex•Lite® Beads by weight of the roofing compound system:

• Increases profit margins (decrease product cost up to 25%)
• Decreases the overall weight of the system (reduce weight up to 28%)
• Improves ergonomics and worker safety (your 55# bucket can now weigh ~40#)
• Reduces freight costs (ship more units per truckload due to decreased package weight)

With all the ways Spex•Lite® Ultra Light Filler Beads can be used, it has tremendous potential to save you and your company money based on product volume costs, in addition to transportation and freight factors. Call us today to save!
