Lightweighting, Cost Efficiency & Sustainability
As physical foaming agents or lightweight fillers, Crerax expandable microspheres are added in minimal quantities to plastics, rubber, TPE components, coatings, and adhesives in automotive applications. They significantly reduce material density and contribute to vehicle weight reduction without major adjustments to existing equipment or formulations, enabling lightweighting and cost savings. The dense, closed-cell microstructure and resilient nature of the microspheres also provide thermal and acoustic insulation, noise reduction, surface modification, and enhanced comfort—all while supporting sustainability.

Applications
Automotive Weather Strips
Automotive Weather Strips
The addition of 1–2% microspheres to EPDM/TPV seals achieves 15–40% density reduction, enabling lightweighting and cost efficiency. The dense, closed-cell foam structure also delivers excellent surface quality, acoustic insulation, and thermal performance.
PVC Automotive Leather
PVC Automotive Leather
Replacing traditional chemical blowing agents with Crerax microspheres in a physical blowing process yields compliant, low-odor, and soft automotive leather that meets stringent regulatory requirements such as VOC limits.
Coatings & Body Fillers
Coatings & Body Fillers
Crerax expandable microspheres in automotive coatings and sealants offer low density, resilience, and uniform microcellular structure. They enhance stone chip resistance in underbody coatings, provide acoustic insulation in aqueous sealants, and improve appearance and sanding performance in repair putties.
GMT Board
GMT Board
GMT boards are commonly used in vehicle roofs and door panels. The addition of Crerax expandable microspheres increases sheet thickness and strength without adding to overall vehicle weight.
Interior Foam Components
Interior Foam Components
Crerax expandable microspheres are used in foam components made from thermoplastics, thermosets, rubber, silicone, and TPEs for automotive interiors. They enable environmentally friendly foaming while achieving lightweighting and enhanced performance.
