Hardness specific gravity effects

Sand. Ottawa sand has a low specific gravity of about 2.63. But since no additional water is required when using this additive, it is possible to use sand to increase the cement slurry specific weight. The sand has little effect on the pumpability of the cement slurry. When set the cement will form a very hard surface. Sand used as an additive can be used to increase the specific weight of a cement slurry to as high as 18 Ib/gal. 

Aluminium hydroxide has a Moh hardness of about 3 and a specific gravity of 2.4. It decomposes endothermically with the release of water at about 200 °C and this makes it a very useful flame retardant filler, this being the principal reason for its use in polymers. The decomposition temperature is in fact too low for many thermoplastics applications, but it is widely used in low smoke P VC applications and finds some use in polyolefins. For these applications low aspect ratio particles with a size of about 1 micron and a specific surface area of 4-10 m g are preferred. The decomposition pathway can be diverted through the mono-hydrate by the application of pressure, and this may reduce the flame retardant effect [97]. This effect can be observed with the larger sized particles. Although it is chemically the hydroxide, it has for many years been known as alumina trihydrate and by the acronym ATH.
