Hollow Microspheres

Q-CEL®

Low-Density Performance Additive

• Resin Extension in polymers translates to cost savings
• Increased solids, reduced VOC’s
• Emulsion Explosives Sensitizer
• Improved mold/flow in thermoset applications
• Improved thermal cycling properties in coatings/composite from insulation factor
• Higher solid loading without viscosity increase
• Acrylic Patching/filling compounds
• Markets/Applications include construction, automotive, composites, coatings, oil well cements
• Fewer defects: excellent mold flow, uniform dispersion
• Reduced compound density and viscosity
• Increased acoustic and thermal insulation
• Reduced cost and better handling in flexible compounds
• More uniform, closed-cell structure in syntactic compounds
• Cost reduction from sandpaper and labor savings for putties

SPHERICEL®

Weight-Reducing, High-Strength Additive

• Reduce weight in engineered plastics (grades available in 0.25 g/cc to 1.1 g/cc)
• Increase durability (grades available up to 10,000 psi crush strength)
• Increase abrasion and burnish resistance
• Reduce VOC content without compromising viscosity and flow
• Improve film integrity without changing finish
• Provides insulation and floatation effect
• Easy to disperse into formulations

LUXSIL®

A Multi-Functional Beauty-Enhancing Additive for Cosmetics

• Provides a pleasant, soft powdery feel to a variety of cosmetic formulas
• Smoothness and flow are enhanced by the ball bearing effect of tiny spheres
• Gives excellent hiding properties with a unique soft focus due to light scattering
• Aids in distribution of other particles, enhancing their performance
• Non-porous/non-absorbent
• Colorless
• Good compressibility
• Particle size – mean diameter 9-13µm
