Dry Expanded Microspheres CAS 38742-70-0 DE Grade Ultra Lightweight Filler Low Density Additive
Product Overview
DE Grade Dry Expanded Microspheres CAS 38742-70-0 are pre-expanded hollow polymer microspheres designed as ultra-lightweight functional fillers. With stable closed-cell hollow structure and excellent free-flowing powder property, they can be easily dispersed into various solvent-based and solvent-free resin systems without secondary heating expansion.
Adding DE grade dry expanded microspheres can significantly lower the density of finished products, reduce raw material usage and production costs. Meanwhile, it brings excellent thermal insulation, shock absorption and dimensional stability, effectively alleviating material shrinkage during curing. Compatible with plastics, coatings, adhesives and composite materials, this product will not cause obvious negative impacts on basic mechanical properties, making it a preferred low-density lightweight additive for diversified industrial applications.
