About Microspheres
Microspheres are small spherical particles ranging from 1 micrometer to 1 millimeter. These are manufactured both naturally and synthetically. These are innovative raw materials with superior functionality that help improve the quality of the final product at a reduced cost.
Microspheres are categorized based on their chemical composition and material properties. These properties make microspheres suitable for application-specific industries such as paints and coatings, oil and gas, cosmetics and personal care, construction, biotechnology and medicine, medical technology, automotive, aerospace, and medical devices.
Microspheres are also known as
• Beads
• Microbeads
• Microparticles
