In 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.
