DE Grade Expanded Microspheres CAS 38742-70-0 Lightweight Putty Joint Compound Filler
Product Overview
DE Grade Expanded Microspheres CAS 38742-70-0 are pre-expanded hollow polymer microspheres developed as lightweight functional filler for wall putty and gypsum board joint compound. With intact closed-cell structure and uniform particle size distribution, the microspheres can be evenly dispersed in water-based and dry-mix putty systems.
It effectively reduces bulk density of putty and joint compound, cuts raw material costs and relieves curing shrinkage to lower cracking risk. Besides lightweight effect, it upgrades thermal insulation performance of finished coatings. The product boasts good compatibility with putty binders and inorganic fillers, and maintains favorable scraping, sanding and polishing performance without causing obvious surface pores. It is a premium lightweight additive for interior wall putty, exterior thermal insulation putty and gypsum joint filler.
Core Features
- Pre-expanded dry powder, directly usableNo secondary heating required, convenient for automatic batching in putty production.
- Closed-cell hollow structure for lightweight & heat insulationGreatly reduce putty density and improve thermal insulation capacity.
- Control shrinkage and reduce cracksEase volume shrinkage during drying, minimize cracks on wall and joint surfaces.
- Excellent construction performanceKeep good spreadability, easy to sand and polish after curing.
- Broad raw material compatibilityCompatible with common putty formulas, suitable for dry powder putty and water-based joint compound.
- Stable surface finishing effectLess defects such as pinholes under reasonable dosage.

Usage Guide
Add microspheres in the later mixing stage. Adopt low-speed mixing to prevent microsphere shell breakage caused by high shear force. Avoid long-time violent stirring. Adjust dosage to balance lightweight effect, bonding strength and surface quality. Keep packaging tightly sealed to avoid moisture absorption during storage.
Packaging & Storage
Packaging: Moisture-proof composite bags or fiber drums with inner plastic liner.
Storage: Store in cool, dry and ventilated warehouse. Prevent dampness, heavy extrusion and direct sunlight.
Shelf Life: 12 months under proper dry storage conditions.
