Expancel® HP92 microspheres for UBC and sealants
Combining the best of two worlds
Reduce weight in underbody coating and seam sealant, without compromising performance
The new Expancel® HP92 is breaking boundaries for thermoplastic fillers in high-pressure automotive applications by combining high volume recovery after pressurization with exceptionally low material density. Ideal as an automotive underbody coating and seam sealant filler, greatly reducing weight while providing excellent coating and elasticity performance.
8 times lower material density compared to high-pressure glass microsphere fillers
Thermoplastic microsphere with excellent performance in high-pressure applications
Low about of filler material needed to reach the desired coating performance
4x better volume recovery after pressurization
Optimized for high pressure applications
Underbody coating and seam sealant are essential in reducing noise and protecting the vehicle underbody against environmental influences.
During storage, pumping, and spray application processes up to 350 bar (5076 psi) of pressure can occur. Current thermoplastic microsphere fillers fail during these conditions, resulting in increased density and poor surface finish.
The new Expancel® HP92 microsphere's exceptional stability allows for more than 4 times better recovery to its original shape after pressurization than a legacy microsphere, even in DINP.
