Lightweight PVC Plastisols have become the material of choice for automotive underbody coatings to protect the undercarriage from corrosion and chipping. Q-CEL® hollow spheres can reduce the compound density of PVC Plastisol spray and seam sealers at a fraction of the cost. Q-CEL® hollow spheres replaces costly engineered resins and improves rheological characteristics of viscous compounds while reducing overall weight of vehicles.

As tiny particles of encapsulated air, Q-CEL® hollow spheres efficiently displace some polymer in plastics formulations, since a very small weight produces a large volume displacement.
