- Microsphere (Micropearl™)
What is microsphere produced by Sekisui Chemical?
Plastic particles with uniform particle size distribution.
They can be used in a variety of applications including gap formation in automobile parts and optical components. Coating the particles with various metals adds further functions.
Wide variation of products
-
- Wide size range
- Wide size lineup from 1.5 µm to 600 µm
-
- Various hardness control
- Particles with optimum hardness and resilience can be selected in accordance with the application.
-
- Chromaticity adjustment in accordance with application
- The chromaticity can be adjusted in accordance with the surrounding part/material and to give them a light blocking effect.
-
- Various metal coatings
- Micropearl™ can be used as a high-performance conductive filler once its surface is plated.
Four properties
-
- Uniformity
- High-accuracy particle size distribution thanks to our proprietary particle manufacturing technology
-
- Followability
- Recovers its original shape even when a stress is temporarily applied, thus maintaining its spacer and conductivity functions.
-
- Stress relaxation characteristics
- The plastic’s flexibility reduces the damage to the surrounding part/material.
-
- Stability
- Usable with solvent or in a voltage environment.

Metal-plated Micropearl™
Series: AU
Five characteristics and properties
- When you have concerns about the damage to the object due to contact with other objects.
- When looking for a material with stable conductivity.
- When you want to eliminate uneven adhesion.
-
- Uniformity
