Description

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: resin acrylic, carbonate calcium carbonate, sulfate barium sulfate, clay, earth diatomaceous earth, fibers glass fibers, glass spheres, gypsum, sand, starch, talc, dioxide titanium dioxide.

2) A preparation made for filling gaps, cracks, pores, or holes. Examples are plaster dental plaster, Polyfilla, adhesive mastic adhesive, wood Plastic wood, gesso, steel stick, brummer stopper, spackle, and wax.
