Expancel Microspheres/Microshphere Expander/ Microsphere Foaming Agent for PVC Air Blowing Shoes

Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Foam Agent for PVC Air Blowing Shoes: Designed to create lightweight, durable shoe soles by expanding microspheres during the PVC molding process, reducing material density while maintaining structural integrity.
  • Multi-Application Material Enhancer: Improves performance in coatings, adhesives, and fillers by enhancing thermal insulation, reducing porosity, and optimizing material density through spherical particle distribution.

Key features

  • 1. Material Technology

    • With high-purity polymer microspheres, achieve uniform expansion and minimal waste in PVC foaming processes. These spherical particles ensure consistent cell structure formation, reducing defects compared to irregular fillers.

  • 2. Interactive Design

    • With engineered surface treatment, ensure seamless integration with PVC materials for consistent foaming. The microsphere’s optimized surface chemistry allows precise adhesion and distribution during manufacturing, avoiding clumping.

  • 3. Performance Parameters

    • With precise expansion control, reduce energy consumption by up to 20% while achieving targeted foam densities. The microspheres enable stable expansion at lower temperatures, optimizing production efficiency.

  • 4. Scenario Solutions

    • Designed for footwear manufacturing, create lightweight, durable shoe soles ideal for athletic and casual wear. The microspheres enhance cushioning and flexibility while maintaining structural integrity under repeated stress.

  • 5. Certification Standards

    • Complies with industrial safety standards (e.g., REACH, RoHS), ensuring non-toxic and eco-friendly formulations. Suitable for consumer products requiring compliance with global regulatory requirements.
