The closed-cell structure, excellent compressibility, elasticity, expandability, and low density bring benefits to many products!
"Expancel microspheres" are small thermoplastic resin spheres formed by a polymer shell that encapsulates gas. When heated, the internal gas pressure increases, and the thermoplastic resin shell softens, causing the volume of the microspheres to dramatically increase, while the gas remains inside the sphere. They exhibit effects of expansion, weight reduction, and property enhancement in a variety of different applications. 【Features】 ■ Cost reduction ■ Density reduction ■ Closed-cell structure ■ Elasticity ■ Compressibility ■ Adhesiveness ■ Surface modification *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
