Why go with something like glass microspheres when you can get much lower densities with our lightweight fillers?

Today consumer goods need to be amazingly light and manufacturers face several challenges. Expancel^® lightweight fillers will add volume without significantly adding weight, giving:

Lightweight products
Possibility to substitute heavier substances
Improve yields
Save on raw material costs

Our DE (dry, expanded) and WE (wet, expanded) lightweight fillers have densities as low as 25kg/m³ depending on the product.
