- Applications
- Functions
Basic Information
EPOSTAR™ MV are acrylic-based, crosslinked, perfectly spherical fine particles with an average particle diameter of 2 – 10 μm, which have been developed using Nippon Shokubai’s proprietary technology. EPOSTAR™ MV is highly rated for having excellent heat resistance, solvent resistance, and dispersibility, and for applications in light diffusion agents and anti-blocking agents of various films.
Features and Properties
- Excellent heat resistance and solvent resistance
- Excellent dispersibility to resins (polyolefin etc.) and solvent
Examples of Applications
- Anti-blocking agents for food packaging film
- Light diffusion agents for optical films
- Matting agents
- Void forming agents

Measurement Method
（1） Thermal Weight Loss (%)
Weight reduction at the time of reaching the prescribed temperature, based on the weight at 100°C.
（2） Thermal Decomposition Temperature
Temperature when a notable weight reduction starts to occur during the gradual heating of fine particles.
