Printing and branding go hand in hand. But if the printing ink lets you down, it can give off the wrong impression of a brand. Fortunately, Expancel for printing inks will achieve surface effects of the highest quality without compromising on your process.

First and foremost, our microspheres come with a closed, uniform cell structure. This enables you to add volume with foaming control that's close to perfection. Even at low temperatures.

Expancel's unexpanded microsphere products are designed for waterborne and solvent-borne formulations as well as PVC plastisols.
