SOLESPHERE Applications
Five key SOLESPHERE grades–H-51, H-53, H-121, H-33 and NP-30–can impart the desired mix of performance qualities into a formulation including:
Grade | NP-30 | H-51 | H-52 | H-53 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Pore volume (mL/g) | 0.02 | 0.8 | 1.6 | 2.0 |
Compression strength (MPa) | 1900 | 40 | 4 | 3 |
Moisture absorption is affected by specific surface area and pore volume.
Test method: Applied 0.5mg/cm test powder to artificial leather Supplare (made by Idemitsu Techno Fine),
and evaluated texture by KES-SE friction tester (made by Kato tech and sensor: artifical leather Supplare, load 25g).
Test method: Applied SOLESPHERE samples to the surface of Supplare, and then monitored with a digital microscope (x 25).
SOLESPHERE prevents oily skin and covers up wrinkles.
Optical diffusion (one characteristic of SOLESPHERE) gives these effects.
These effects are proportional to particle size and pore volume.
