120-150℃ Expanding Microspheres CAS 38742-70-0 Silicone Rubber Foaming Agent Lightweight Filler
Product Overview
120-150℃ Expanding Microspheres CAS 38742-70-0 are professional physical foaming agents and lightweight functional fillers specially formulated for silicone rubber processing. Matching the typical curing and molding temperature range of silicone rubber, the microspheres achieve stable and uniform thermal expansion at 120-150℃, forming dense, fine and independent closed-cell structures inside silicone rubber materials. This effectively reduces the overall density of silicone products, realizes lightweight modification, and significantly improves cushioning flexibility, surface texture and thermal insulation performance. Adopting pure physical foaming technology, the product features low shrinkage, no chemical residues, excellent compatibility with silicone systems and stable batch performance. It is an ideal lightweight foaming additive for various silicone rubber finished parts.
Core Features
Precise 120-150℃ Foaming Window: Customized medium-temperature activation temperature perfectly fits silicone rubber molding and curing process. It achieves full and uniform expansion within the processing temperature range, avoiding insufficient foaming or microsphere rupture, and adapts to mainstream silicone production processes.
Excellent Lightweight Modification: Effectively reduces the density of silicone rubber products, lowers material consumption and product weight without sacrificing the basic toughness and structural stability of silicone materials, helping manufacturers realize lightweight and cost reduction upgrading.
Uniform Closed-Cell Structure: Forms regular and dense closed-cell pores after expansion. The cell size is uniform with no hollow cavities or uneven bubbles, effectively improving the softness, cushioning performance and thermal insulation effect of silicone rubber products.
Low Shrinkage & Dimensional Stability: The foamed microsphere structure has strong structural stability. It effectively inhibits thermal shrinkage and deformation of silicone products during molding and use, ensuring stable product size and high finished product yield.
Superior Silicone System Compatibility: Ultra-fine powder with good dispersion in silicone rubber raw materials. No agglomeration, precipitation or floating powder, which does not affect the vulcanization performance, bonding force and surface smoothness of silicone products.
Eco-Friendly & Safe Physical Foaming: Pure physical thermal expansion molding, no chemical decomposition, no harmful volatiles and peculiar smell, low VOC. Compliant with environmental protection and safety standards for daily-use and industrial silicone products.

It is dedicated to solving the problems of heavy weight, hard hand feel and poor thermal insulation of traditional solid silicone products, and is widely applied in daily products, electronic accessories, industrial sealing and other fields.
Usage Guide
Add the expanding microspheres into silicone rubber raw materials at room temperature with low-speed stirring, and mix slowly until fully and evenly dispersed. Strictly avoid high-speed shear stirring and ultra-high temperature preheating to prevent microsphere damage and premature foaming. After uniform mixing, perform conventional silicone rubber vulcanization, molding and curing processes. Complete stable thermal expansion and closed-cell forming under 120-150℃ processing temperature. Adjust the dosage, curing temperature and holding time appropriately according to the target lightweight degree and softness. Keep sealed and moisture-proof during storage and production operation.
Packaging & Storage
Packaging: 25kg sealed moisture-proof composite bag with inner PE liner, dust-proof and leak-proof, suitable for industrial bulk supply and long-distance transportation.
Storage: Store in a dry, cool and ventilated indoor environment, keep tightly sealed all the time. Avoid humid air, direct sunlight and long-term high-temperature stacking to prevent microsphere caking and spontaneous foaming. The standard shelf life is 12 months under qualified storage conditions.
