spherical ceramic products

(OP)
Can anyone direct me to a manufacturer of spherical ceramic products?
Thank you.

RE: spherical ceramic products

ceramic balls on google or yahoo.

Helps if you know the application and / or material.  

In my experience (and depending on what you mean by ceramic)I start with Coors.

Sorry, should have been more specific. Would
be an alumino-silicate ceramic  along the lines of a well proppant.
Any thoughts?

RE: spherical ceramic products

We're working with some pretty incredible materials from  Coorstek www.coorstek.com for downhole applciations.  

Might be worth a try.  

Would Alumino-silicate be Greenleaf alumina reinforced with SiC fibers?

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't think they have the prilling or rotary kiln equipment but I will touch base with them to see if its possible.

RE: spherical ceramic products

An oil well proppant is pumped down oil wells to keep cracks underground open so that oil can flow to the well more freely. It needs little pricision in size but has to be cheap. There are companies that make it from fly-ash but I'm not in that business. A google search would seem to be appropriate, or ask the question in the petroleum production forum.

RE: spherical ceramic products

We make ceramic spheres and test them to 17,000 psi.
