1) An inert powder added to a base material such as a paint, pigment, adhesive, plastic, paper, fabric, wax, or concrete. Fillers may serve multiple purposes such as: extend a matrix, dilute a color, decrease cost, provide bulk, increase strength, improve working properties or generally enhance performance. Examples of materials that are used as fillers are: acrylic, Calcium carbonate, Barium sulfate, Clay, Diatomaceous earth, glass fibers, glass spheres, Gypsum, Sand, Starch, Talc, Titanium dioxide.
2) A preparation made for filling gaps, cracks, pores, or holes. Examples are Dental plaster, Polyfilla, Mastic adhesive, Plastic wood, Gesso, steel stick, brummer stopper, Spackle, and Wax.
