Thermo expandable microcapsulesKUREHA Microsphere

KUREHA Microsphere H series

  • H series are suitable for expansion at 160℃-190℃
  • Within this temperature range, resins such as PVC, rubber and elastomers can be expanded.

Characteristics of each grade

  • H750 : Smaller diameter sphere that is suited for applications that require excellent surface finish after expansion.
  • H850 : High expansion ratio sphere that offer aggressive density reduction.
  • H880 : Engineered to provide both surface finish control and density reduction.

Thermomechanical Analysis : H series

※ Expansion ratio is calculated by measurement value of thermal mechanical analysis and expanded
