Advancell is a family of acrylic shells, commonly used for foam, adhesion, and texturing applications. Our premiere product family is Advancell Expandable Microspheres or Advancell EM. Advancell EM requires heat to activate and expand.
The High-Quality Expansion Effect
- Independent micro-balloons result in a high-quality finish not offered by other chemical foaming agents.
- Fine, uniform micro-balloons achieve a smooth surface.
- The sharp particle size distribution achieved by Sekisui’s proprietary technology allows the micro-balloon size to be controlled.
- Micro-balloons can be formed even in low-viscosity compositions.
The Advancell EM Advantage
Advancell product molecules incorporate various structural characteristics based on innovative technology cultivated by Sekisui Chemical. By applying multilayer particle technology and choosing the core materials, we are able to design porous or foam particles. This type of “expansion” solves many issues in a variety of fields.
