Basic Information

EPOSTAR™ are heat-cured, spherical fine particles with melamine and benzoguanamine resins as raw materials.
We offer nine types of standard item numbers, with three types of resin structures.

Features and Properties

1. Excellent heat resistance and solvent resistance
2. Particle size adjustable from 0.1 – 9μm
3. High refractive index (n = 1.66)
4. Positive charge derived from resin structure (High density N atom)

Examples of Applications

• Toner additives
• Light diffusion agents
• Matting agents
