SUNSPHERE ® has excellent heat resistance properties since it is derived from silica. Non-porous series (NP-100, NP-30) is quite hard and breaks less easily than the more porous grades. On the contrary high oil absorption grades (H-33, H-53) are less resistant to shearing stress and will disintegrate more easily under shear.
