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.

Sekisui's ADVANCELL EM is a functional microsphere that foams when mixed with resin and heated. ADVANCELL EM is comprised of thermo-expandable microspheres (tiny plastic spheres) containing a low-boiling-point liquid hydrocarbon inside a thermoplastic polymer shell.

ADVANCELL EM is comprised of thermally expandable microspheres (tiny plastic spheres) that can be blended with a base material and formed (foamed) to add various properties to the base material, such as weight reduction and flexibility.

By applying multilayer particle technology and choosing the core materials, it is possible to design porous or foam particles. Usable as lightweight materials in industrial equipment and vehicle applications, and as a foaming agent for olefin-based ecological wallpaper. SEKISUI CHEMICAL CO.,LTD Global Website―ADVANCELL.

As a result, Advancell EM offers many advantages over a chemical foaming agent made mainly of azodicarbonamide (ADCA). Thanks to SEKISUI’s patented particle dispersion technology, the expansion of Advancell EM is more uniform than that of conventional polymer cells of …

ADVANCELL EM offers the fol-lowing advantages over a chemical foaming agent made mainly of ADCA (azodicarbonamide). 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.

At SEKISUI Specialty Chemicals, our mission is to be a leading polymer solutions provider. We embrace innovative technologies and support our dedicated associates. Together, we create sustainable solutions essential to a better, safer and healthier life for people everywhere.

We are excited to announce the launch of www.Advancell.com. Advancell spheres are thermo-expandable microspheres that can be combined with various base resins to yield light weight, flexible materials like foam.

Advancell EM is the microsphere to expand to 30 to 100 times the addition of heat, with forming a closed cell. S-LEC B/K (KS) provides a good balance of functions and is used in a wide range of applications such as binders, dispersants and adhesives.

Today, we will have a look at SEKISUI’s Advancell. Anyone who tinkered with play dough as a child or uncorked a bottle of wine as an adult may have encountered Advancell products. It could also be part of the laminate flooring in your new home or your car.
