CAS 38742-70-0 Aqueous Dispersion Expandable Microspheres WU Grade for Waterborne Adhesives
Product Overview
WU Grade Aqueous Dispersion Expandable Microspheres CAS 38742-70-0 is a thermally expandable foaming modifier customized for waterborne adhesive systems. The product exists in stable aqueous dispersion state, solving the poor dispersion problem of dry microspheres in water-based adhesives. It can be mixed evenly with various water-based adhesives directly without pre-dispersion grinding.
Microspheres remain inactive under normal temperature and will not expand in advance during mixing. In the heating curing process of adhesives, microspheres expand controllably to form uniform closed-cell structures inside adhesive layers. It reduces adhesive density, cuts raw material cost, and optimizes cushioning, heat insulation and sound absorption performance. Meanwhile, it maintains stable bonding force. It is an ideal lightweight functional additive for waterborne adhesives.
