Powder / Fine Beads
LCDIn the mid-1980s, Esprix discovered that innovative sub-micron particles were being produced by various Japanese manufacturers. We recognized the unique properties of these materials, and envisioned potential applications in a number of industries. But as promising as these particles were, they posed a formidable challenge -they were a few years ahead of their time. Today, "Nanotechnology" is becoming a household word. The Esprix nanoparticles are marketed to several industries as Functional Spherical Microparticles.

The Microparticles consist of:

  • Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA)
    - Cross-linked or non cross-linked
    - Proprietary and functional surface treatments
  • Cross-linked polystyrene gel particles
  • Amorphous silica
  • Melamine and benzoguanamine cured resins
The unique technology has allowed Esprix to extensively investigate niche opportunities in several industries including:
  • Coatings/Inks
  • Toners
  • Adhesives
  • Powder encapsulation
  • Personal care
  • LCD Electronic Display
The functionality of the Microparticles cover a wide range including:
  • Anti-block
  • Slip aid
  • Texture
  • Optical effect
  • Matting agent
  • Electrostatic charge enhancement
  • Modifier (plastics, rubber, paints, inks, adhesives.)
The product line features a true mono-dispersed product that covers the particle size desired for your application. The product is highly solvent resistance with extended shelf life that is not found in competitive supply.
