Wet Cake Thermoexpandable Microspheres CAS 38742-70-0 Water-based Paint Lightweight Filler
Product Overview
Wet Cake Thermoexpandable Microspheres CAS 38742-70-0 is a high-efficiency lightweight functional filler specially optimized for water-based paint and coating systems. Different from traditional dry powder microspheres and wet slurry products, it adopts high-purity wet cake form with low moisture content and high effective microsphere content.
This product features excellent water-based dispersion with no agglomeration or precipitation during mixing. It remains stable at room temperature without premature expansion. During paint heating and curing, the microspheres expand controllably to form uniform and dense closed-cell structures inside the coating film. It effectively reduces paint density, cuts raw material costs, and endows coatings with excellent thermal insulation, sound insulation and matte texture. Fully compatible with all water-based resin systems, it causes no film defects such as pinholes or cracks, being an ideal lightweight modification additive for high-grade water-based paints.
Core Advantages
High-Purity Wet Cake FormAdopts professional filter cake molding with higher effective content than ordinary wet slurry. Low water content avoids formula dilution, ensuring stable paint viscosity and film-forming performance.
Superior Water-Based DispersionNo grinding or pre-dispersion required, evenly mixed into water-based paints at room temperature. No floating particles, no sedimentation, suitable for automated batch production.
Stable Thermal Lightweight EffectControllable expansion temperature range, forms uniform closed-cell structure after heating. Significantly reduces coating weight and improves product surface flatness and texture.
Excellent Formula CompatibilityPerfectly compatible with water-based acrylic, polyurethane, epoxy and other waterborne coatings. Will not affect adhesion, hardness and weather resistance of paint film.
Multifunctional Performance UpgradeWhile realizing lightweight modification, it optimizes coating matte effect, enhances thermal insulation and sound absorption, and improves coating scrub resistance.
Eco-Friendly & Low VOCPhysical foaming principle, non-toxic, odorless and low VOC. Complies with global environmental protection standards for architectural and industrial water-based coatings.
