Expandable microspheres are microscopic spheres comprising a thermoplastic shell encapsulating a low boiling point liquid hydrocarbon. When heated to a temperature high enough to soften the thermoplastic shell, the increasing pressure of the hydrocarbon will cause the microsphere to expand. The volume can increase by 60 to 80 times.
The major production regions of expandable microspheres are United States, Europe and Japan, which accounted for about 92% of production market share in 2018. Japan is the largest production region with a market share of 40% in 2018. For sales market, Asia-Pacific is the largest sales region with a market share of 34% in 2018.
