Powder Form Expandable Microspheres CAS 38742-70-0 DU Type Thermoexpandable Blowing Agent
Product Overview
Powder Form Expandable Microspheres CAS 38742-70-0 (DU Type) are high-performance thermoexpandable physical blowing agents. Supplied as dry unexpanded powder, microspheres maintain stable particle state under normal temperature during mixing and feeding without premature expansion. When reaching the required processing temperature in extrusion, injection molding or rubber vulcanization, the microspheres expand controllably and form evenly distributed closed-cell structures within polymer matrix. It can effectively lower product density and reduce raw material costs while retaining mechanical properties, dimensional stability and excellent surface quality of rubber and plastic finished products. Featuring good powder fluidity, stable thermal expansion performance and broad material compatibility, DU Type microspheres are cost-effective blowing agents for general polymer lightweight foaming projects.
Core Features
Dry Powder Unexpanded State, Excellent FlowabilityUniform dry white powder with good anti-caking performance. Easy to blend evenly with rubber and plastic raw materials, guaranteeing consistent feeding during continuous production.
Controllable Thermal Expansion PerformanceStable expansion temperature range, predictable expansion ratio. Form fine and dense closed cells after heating, delivering steady lightweight effect for mass production.
Wide Compatibility with Rubber & PlasticsAdaptable to most thermoplastics and general rubber materials. Suitable for multiple molding technologies including injection, extrusion and vulcanization.
Optimized Shell Structure, Strong Shear ResistanceResist screw and kneading shear force in processing, low particle breakage rate. Effectively avoid uneven foaming and local density differences of finished products.
Reduce Raw Material ConsumptionSignificant weight reduction can be achieved with low addition dosage. Help manufacturers cut production costs without obvious loss of product rigidity and impact resistance.
Environment-Friendly Physical FoamingAdopt pure physical thermal expansion mechanism, no chemical decomposition, low odor and low VOC. Meet environmental requirements for consumer goods, auto accessories and industrial polymer products.

Usage Guide
Mix DU Type powder expandable microspheres with polymer raw materials uniformly via low-speed stirring at room temperature. Avoid long-time intense shear mixing and high-temperature preheating to prevent particle rupture and premature expansion. Complete thermal expansion and closed-cell foaming under matched processing temperature during molding, extrusion or vulcanization. Adjust microsphere dosage, processing temperature and equipment parameters according to lightweight standards and surface quality requirements. Keep materials sealed and moisture-proof during production and storage.
Packaging & Storage
Packaging: 25kg sealed moisture-proof composite bag with inner PE liner, dust-proof and leak-proof for industrial bulk supply and long-distance transportation.
Storage: Store in dry, cool and ventilated warehouse. Keep tightly sealed all the time. Avoid direct sunlight, high-temperature stacking and humid environment to prevent caking and spontaneous foaming. Standard shelf life is 12 months under proper storage conditions.
