Expancel 551 DE 40 d42 is a type of thermoplastic microsphere mainly used as a lightweight filler and foaming agent, providing a fine and uniform pore structure with closed cells.
It is commonly used in polyester putties, polyurethane sealants, acrylic latex caulks, silicone rubber, underbody coatings, paints, and printing inks for wallpaper, fabrics, and textiles.
It offers high resiliency, easy compression, good chemical resistance, and excellent thermo-mechanical properties. It also helps in reducing weight, improving sandability, and providing a smoother surface finish.
