PMMA microspheres

Acrylic Microspheres

This product series of fine PMMA spherical particles are developed using exclusive polymerization techniques to create world-class acrylic microspheres controlled for particle-size ranges and distributions, and degrees of cross-linkage.

Each series has various grades depending on the average particle size; from the smallest MP-1451 with just 150 nanometer average particle size up to MP-1000 with 400 nm. If you need a specific particle size, please contact us for more information.

Applications examples include creating minimal-residue micropores for electrochemical applications, improve fluidity and viscosity as an additive in inks and toners, embed on a surface for light-diffusion, etc.
