Pre-expanded Lightweight Microspheres CAS 38742-70-0 Artificial Marble Filler Density Reducer
Product Overview
Pre-expanded Lightweight Microspheres CAS 38742-70-0 are hollow thermoplastic microspheres specially designed as lightweight filler and density reducer for artificial marble. Featuring intact closed-cell structure and uniform particle distribution, the microspheres can disperse evenly in unsaturated polyester resin and other artificial marble resin systems.
It significantly cuts the density of artificial marble, reduces product weight and raw material costs. Meanwhile, it effectively controls curing shrinkage and improves cutting and polishing performance of finished products. The product has good compatibility with conventional marble formulas, less likely to form surface pores and flaws, which makes it an excellent lightweight additive for artificial marble slabs, countertops and decorative profiles.
Core Features
- Ready-to-use pre-expanded powderNo secondary heating required, directly added into resin slurry to simplify production procedures.
- Ultra-lightweight hollow closed-cell structureRemarkably lower product density, realize lightweight artificial marble and reduce transportation load.
- Good dispersibilityFree-flowing powder, evenly mixed in resin system under low-speed stirring.
- Optimize processing performanceRelieve curing shrinkage, reduce deformation and improve machinability for cutting and polishing.
- Excellent resin compatibilityCompatible with unsaturated polyester resin commonly used for artificial marble.
- Stable surface effectHelp obtain smooth surface after polishing with minimal visible defects under reasonable formulation.
Product Specifications

Usage Guide
Add microspheres in the later stage of slurry mixing. Use low-speed stirring to avoid high shear force breaking microsphere shells. Control stirring time to guarantee uniform distribution. Adjust dosage to balance lightweight effect, mechanical strength and surface quality. Seal tightly to prevent 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. Avoid dampness, heavy extrusion and direct sunlight.
Shelf Life: 12 months under proper dry storage conditions.
