Water-based System Expandable Microspheres CAS 38742-70-0 Low Temp Heat Activated Foaming Agent
Product Overview
CAS 38742-70-0 Water-based System Expandable Microspheres are specially optimized low-temperature heat-activated foaming agents for all kinds of aqueous formulations. Different from traditional oil-based foaming additives, this microsphere powder has excellent hydrophilic dispersion performance, which can be uniformly and stably dispersed in water-based coatings, water-based inks, aqueous slurries and other water-based systems. Under low-temperature heating conditions, the microspheres expand stably and evenly to form uniform closed-cell microstructures. It effectively endows products with lightweight performance, delicate matte texture, three-dimensional embossing effect and heat insulation properties. With low activation temperature, no agglomeration, low odor and environmentally friendly features, it is a dedicated physical foaming modifier for upgrading water-based product performance.
Core Features
Excellent Water-Based Compatibility: Specially modified surface structure realizes super stable dispersion in aqueous systems. No floating powder, precipitation or agglomeration, which perfectly adapts to various water-based industrial formulas without affecting system stability.
Low Temperature Heat Activation: Features low foaming initiation temperature and mild foaming process. It completes uniform expansion at low temperature, avoids high-temperature damage, yellowing and substrate deformation, and matches perfectly with low-temperature curing process of water-based products.
Pure Physical Foaming & Eco-Friendly: Adopts physical thermal expansion principle, no chemical reaction, no harmful volatile substances and peculiar smell. Low VOC, safe and environmentally friendly, meeting international environmental protection standards for water-based decorative and industrial materials.
Multi-Functional Modification: Effectively reduce product density to achieve lightweight effect, form delicate matte and three-dimensional textured surface, and improve the heat insulation, wear resistance and anti-cracking performance of water-based coating films.
Stable Foaming Performance: Uniform particle size and stable expansion ratio, consistent foaming effect in batch production. The modified finished product has stable texture, firm structure and long-lasting service performance.

Usage Guide
Add the expandable microspheres into water-based raw materials under low-speed stirring at room temperature, and stir slowly until fully and evenly dispersed. Strictly avoid high-speed shear stirring and high-temperature preheating to prevent microsphere rupture and premature foaming. After dispersion, construct according to the conventional process of water-based products. Complete heat activation and uniform foaming forming through low-temperature drying and curing. Adjust the dosage, curing temperature and time appropriately according to the expected foaming height and surface texture effect. Keep sealed and moisture-proof during daily use and storage.
Packaging & Storage
Packaging: 25kg sealed moisture-proof composite bag with inner PE liner, dust-proof and leak-proof, suitable for industrial bulk supply and long-distance transportation.
Storage: Store in a dry, cool and ventilated indoor environment, keep tightly sealed all the time. Avoid direct sunlight, high temperature stacking and humid air to prevent spontaneous foaming and caking. The shelf life is 12 months under standard storage conditions.
