Technical Details & Test Data
- Expandability
Expandability of Matsumoto Microsphere®F50 (Unexpanded)
The expansion curves in an EVA binder shown below represent one of basic performances of microcapsules. The tested microcapsules and EVA were blended in 1 to 9 ratio based on the weight of solid content. The mixture was heated for 2 minutes at each temperature level.
Low-temperature-expansive products
*The data refer to thermo expandable microcapsule expanded alone and not mixed with resin.
Therefore, when in actual use with resins, the thermo-expansion behavior may be different.
