Akzo Nobel Expancel® 051 WU 40 Wet unexpanded microspheres
Categories: Other Engineering Material; Additive/Filler for Polymer; Polymer; Thermoplastic

Material Notes: Expancel microspheres are thermoplastic hollow spheres. The microspheres are white spherically formed particles with a thermoplastic shell encapsulating a gas. When the microspheres are heated the thermoplastic shell softens and the gas increases its pressure, resulting in an expansion of the spheres.

Applications: Anti-slip coatings; Braille paper; Carpet underlays; Printing ink
