Abstract

A filler and floatability material is an extruded admixture of a thermoplastic resin material and a mineral or organic load lightening material that resists against hydrostatic pressure. The admixture contains 50 to 80% by volume of a polyolefin or a polydiolefin homo- or copolymer as the thermoplastic resin material and 50 to 20% by volume of hollow microspheres as the load lightening material that resists against hydrostatic pressure. The filler and floatability material displays a density ranging from 0.65 to 0.85, elasticity which is greater than 10% distortion, uniaxial compression strength equal to at least 60 bar and water absorption under 50 bar pressure which is lower than 5% by weight.
