Why Choose Expanded Polymeric Microspheres

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.

2. Typical Applications for the Expanded Series include:

• FRP Compounds
• Automotive Underbody Coatings
• Modeling Clays
• Patching Compounds
• Building Materials
• Sound Deadening
• Explosives
• Foams
• Paper Manufacturing
• Adhesive and Sealant
• Textile Printing Inks
• Synthetic Wood
• Roof Coatings
• Polymer Concrete
• Wire & Cable
• Cosmetics
• New ones all the time

3. E Series elastic and resilient microsphere shells are:

• Non-friable
• Compressible
• Shear stable in many manufacturing processes

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
