Microcapsules for thermal expansion that are active in various applications.
Foaming agents and lightweight fillers, all-in-one functional materials. Thermal expansion microcapsules Expancel increase in volume by 60 to 100 times when heated between 80°C and 200°C, becoming ultra-lightweight microbubbles. The expanded product is a very light microbubble that achieves both weight reduction and improved thermal insulation.

basic information
**Main Features of Expancel** Expancel is an organic thermal expansion microcapsule with a thermoplastic resin shell that encapsulates hydrocarbons. After expansion, its true density is 0.03g/cm³, and the average particle diameter is 40μm, with a shell thickness of just 0.1μm, giving it quite unique properties similar to those of a vinyl balloon. **Effects of Expancel** Lightweight, bulk increase, non-slip, matte finish, surface modification, heat insulation, thermal insulation, porosity, improved elasticity, shrinkage prevention, void filling material, improved machinability and grindability, peeling, acoustic improvement, condensation prevention, and frost damage prevention, among others.
