White Polyethylene Microspheres - 10um to 1200um (1.2mm) - 1.00-1.45g/cc

White polymer microspheres are made with Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) and are safe to use for personal care applications. White PE spheres are extremely opaque, offering maximum hiding power even in a small layer of spheres. Opaque white particles act as a superior opacifying agent that offers advantages in paints and coatings, cosmetics and personal care applications. Other colors, sizes and grades of polyethylene spherical particles are available: Polyethylene Microspheres (Colors, Fluorescent, Phosphorescent, Barium Sulfate)

Polyethylene microspheres are hydrophobic and suspend easily in oil-based solutions. They can also be suspended in aqueous solution if coated with a surfactant prior to suspending in water. We recommend usingTween 80 or Tween 20 Surfactants.
