Our unexpanded microspheres are used as expanding agent (or foaming
agent) in many applications. Below are examples of where Expancel can be used - and the effects you can get. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS ADVANTAGES WITH EXPANCEL* Articial leather Surface modications such as suede and nubuck effects Genuine leather Outstanding lling capacity, very low shrinkage, very good bufng properties, good exibility, soft touch feeling Lightweight foam Good shock absorbance and recovery Microcellular PU foams Reduced weight, controlled and uniform foam structure Nonwoven for composites Cost savings, reduced weight, good insulation, increased dimensional stability, increased bulk and thickness Paper and board Improved bulk, bending stiffness, thermal insulation. Coated applications can give soft touch and anti-slip Porous ceramics Controlled and uniform pore structure Printing ink for wallpaper, fabrics and textiles 3D effects, matting, peach or suede look. Sheets, boards and proles Closed cells, foam stability, reduced weight, cost saving potential Shoe soles Reduced weight, matt surface, improved wearing comfort due to unique cell structure Silicone rubber Cost savings, reduced weight, uniform and closed cell structure, dry surface Thermal release material Debonding at elevated temperatures Underbody coatings Improved stone chip resistance and sound dampning, low UBC weight helps cut fuel consumption Wine stoppers of cork granules Improved compressibility Wine stoppers, plastic Reduced weight, density control, better elasticity Wood plastic composites Reduced weight, easier to saw and drill Expancel is a product with endless possibilities. It is a multi-performance additive that gives a multitude of advantages to numerous applications. In this leaet we give you some examples of what Expancel can do for you. Our idea is not just to supply a high quality product. We also provide a very good knowledge of our microspheres and their use. Both in the form of application support and as technical handling assistance. Often we work closely together with our customers in their product development. We are present all over the world. Headquarters, including marketing, research and development, production and technical service, are located in Sweden. We have our own sales ofces in many countries around the world and other areas are served through distributors. In order to give fast and efcient service we also have production facilities in China and the US. The product Expancel comes in many varieties. We have both unexpanded and expanded grades and they come in wet or dry form or as masterbatch. All this means that they work both in systems with heat and without heat, with water and without. Varying chemical compositions give expansion at different temperatures. Thanks to different particle sizes you can get various surface effects, for example matting and roughness. The very low densities give a weight reduction even at small dosages. Contact us, and we can together nd the best Expancel solution for your product. 3 The difference in volume beween unexpanded and expanded Expancel microspheres at the same weight. Our expanded microspheres are used as a lightweight ller or to create specic effects. The below list gives some examples of applications where Expancel can give advantages to your product. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS ADVANTAGES WITH EXPANCEL* Cable lling compound Reduced dielectric constant, reduced water penetration, cost reduction, reduced weight Coatings (reective, insulating, elastic) Energy savings through solar reection and thermal insulation, enhanced durability and weather resistance Composites Reduced weight, reduced cost / lower resin consumption, increased stiffness Crack ller / Spackling compound Sandability, easy to apply, sanding dust less irritating than with glass microspheres Cultured marble Reduced weight, less risk of cracks during production, improved machinability, lower resin consumption Frost resistant concrete Reliable frost resistance, reduced shrinkage, increased strength Genuine leather Outstanding lling capacity, very low shrinkage, very good bufng properties, good exibility, soft touch feeling Microcellular PU foams Reduced weight, controlled and uniform foam structure Modeling clay Easty to shape, low shrinkage upon drying Model making board Cost savings, weight reduction, improved machinability Paint
Reduced weight, better applicability, higher water vapor perme- ability, matting effect, low emission of VOC, lower transportation cost for producer Paper and board Soft touch Polyester putty Low volume cost, easy to apply, extraordinary sanding properties, reduced shrinkage Porous ceramics Controlled and uniform pore structure Sealants Cost savings, weight reduction, reduced volume shrinkage during drying Silicone rubber Cost savings, reduced weight, uniform and closed cell structure, dry surface Underbody coatings Improved stone chip resistance and sound dampning, low UBC weight helps cut fuel consumption * It is important that you make your own tests to nd out what advantages you can achieve with Expancel. The effects may vary due to matrix, process conditions, etc. To nd out more about our microspheres you can contact us at: Email: info.expancel@akzonobel.com Akzo Nobel Pulp and Performance Chemicals AB Expancel Box 13000 850 13 Sundsvall Sweden Phone: +46-60 13 40 00 Fax: +46-60 56 95 18 www.expancel.com www.akzonobel.com www.expancel.com AkzoNobel is a leading global paints and coatings company and a major producer of specialty chemicals.
