Expanded Polymeric Microspheres are unique lightweight, hollow microspheres. These low-density microspheres are recommended for evaluation as lightweight additives to reduce density, increase volume solids, and lower volume cost. They can maintain or may enhance, product properties.

4. Some E Series microspheres are coated with CaCO3.
- This produces a non-agglomerated free-flowing powder
- This enhances the microsphere compatibility with formulations
- This helps to limit “floating out” of the microsphere
- This prevents the microsphere from being an explosive dust hazard
5. E Series has a normally distributed particle size
6. E Series improves the machinability, processability, and workability of many formulations
