Synthetic Leather Expandable Microspheres CAS 38742-70-0 Sheepskin Effect Agent Medium Temperature Grade
Product Overview
CAS 38742-70-0 Medium Temperature Expandable Microspheres are professional functional modifiers specially developed for synthetic leather surface finishing and texture upgrading. Tailored for PU and PVC synthetic leather production processes, the microspheres achieve uniform and stable thermal expansion under medium-temperature curing conditions. They form delicate, microscopic concave-convex structures on the leather surface, perfectly simulating the soft, matte and luxurious hand feel of natural sheepskin. Featuring excellent compatibility with leather coating systems, stable texture molding and long-lasting surface effect, this product effectively upgrades ordinary flat synthetic leather into high-grade sheepskin-style leather. It is a core functional additive for high-end artificial leather finishing.
Core Features
Authentic Sheepskin Matte Texture: Controlled medium-temperature expansion forms fine and regular micro-grains on the leather surface. It restores the soft, fuzzy and layered matte touch of natural sheepskin, solving the problems of flat, stiff and plastic-looking surface of ordinary synthetic leather.
Medium Temperature Process Adaptability: Optimized activation temperature matches conventional synthetic leather drying and curing processes. No need for production line modification, ensuring uniform expansion and stable texture effect during mass continuous production.
Excellent Coating System Compatibility: Ultra-fine powder with outstanding dispersion in PU resin, PVC paste and leather finishing agents. No agglomeration, floating powder or surface defects, without affecting leather adhesion, flatness and base material performance.
Durable & Washable Surface Effect: The formed micro-concave-convex texture is tightly combined with the leather surface. It features great friction resistance and wash resistance, maintaining stable sheepskin effect without fading or peeling for long-term use.
Improved Leather Grade & Texture: Effectively eliminate the cheap plastic sense of synthetic leather, enhance surface anti-slip performance and softness, greatly improve product appearance grade and market competitiveness.
Stable Batch Consistency: Uniform particle size and stable expansion ratio ensure consistent texture, matte degree and hand feel of finished leather in batch production, low defective rate and high production stability.

It is dedicated to creating high-simulation sheepskin matte effect, widely applied in leather goods, furniture decoration, automobile industry and daily apparel fields.
Usage Guide
Add expandable microspheres into leather finishing coating slurry under low-speed stirring at room temperature, and disperse slowly and evenly. Avoid high-speed shear stirring and high-temperature preheating to prevent microsphere rupture and premature foaming. After uniform dispersion, coat the slurry on the leather surface according to conventional finishing procedures. Complete thermal expansion and sheepskin texture forming through standard medium-temperature drying and curing. Adjust dosage, coating thickness and curing parameters appropriately according to target texture and matte effect. Keep sealed and moisture-proof during operation and storage.
Packaging & Storage
Packaging: 25kg sealed moisture-proof composite packaging with inner liner, dust-proof and leak-proof, suitable for industrial batch production and long-distance transportation.
Storage: Store in dry, cool and ventilated indoor warehouse, keep tightly sealed at all times. Avoid direct sunlight, high temperature accumulation and humid environment to prevent caking and spontaneous foaming. The standard shelf life is 12 months under qualified storage conditions.
