Unexpanded Microspheres
DUALITE® U products are heat expandable polymeric microspheres that posses a wide range of performance characteristics with applicability to a broad spectrum of end uses.
DUALITE® U products will expand to form a low-density sphere, creating unique, and often, improved end- product properties.
Features
- Expandability over a wide range of temperatures
- A wide scope of performance characteristics
- Most grades available as a dry powder or wet cake
*Additional lead times required when ordering (3 months – negotiable)
Product Stability: The performance of DUALITE® is dependent on the cumulative effects of temperature, pressure and chemical environment. Since Chase Corporation is not able to exhaustively test all combinations of these variables, this data is furnished as a guideline for selection of an appropriate grade of DUALITE®.
