Accepted Answer

Yes, we operate under a comprehensive quality management system certified to ISO 13485:2016. Our QC process includes raw material inspection, in-process monitoring, and final product testing. Each batch is tested for adhesive strength, thickness uniformity, perforation quality, and dimensional accuracy.

Question 16

What types of silicone gel do you offer besides perforated film?

Accepted Answer

In addition to double-sided silicone gel perforated film, we offer solid silicone gel sheets, silicone gel coated non-woven fabrics, silicone gel tapes, and custom-coated substrates. Our silicone gel formulations range from medical-grade (for wound care and scar management) to industrial-grade (for bonding, damping, and electronic protection).

Question 17

Can silicone gel be used for cosmetic and beauty applications?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our medical-grade silicone gel is widely used in cosmetic and beauty applications including silicone gel sheets for scar treatment, silicone-based beauty tools, and adhesive components for cosmetic patches and masks. The hypoallergenic and biocompatible properties make it ideal for skin-contact beauty products.

Question 18

What are foamed microspheres and how do they work?

Accepted Answer

Foamed microspheres are hollow, spherical particles made from thermoplastic shells encapsulating a hydrocarbon blowing agent. When heated above their activation temperature (typically 80-190°C), the shell softens and the internal pressure expands the microsphere, increasing its volume by 30-60 times. This creates a lightweight, closed-cell foam structure that reduces material density while improving insulation, cushioning, and sound absorption properties.

Question 19

What industries and applications use foamed microspheres?

Accepted Answer

Foamed microspheres are used across a wide range of industries: footwear (lightweight midsoles and insoles), automotive (NVH damping, interior trim, seal strips), construction (thermal insulation coatings, sealants), textiles (3D foam printing), packaging (lightweight fillers), and industrial tapes (thermal debonding tapes, foam tape substrates). They enable weight reduction, material savings, and enhanced performance properties.

Question 20

What foaming temperatures are available for foamed microspheres?

Accepted Answer

We offer foamed microspheres with foaming temperatures ranging from 85°C to 240°C, covering low-temperature, medium-temperature, and high-temperature grades. Low-temperature grades (80-110°C) are suitable for PVC and heat-sensitive substrates. Medium-temperature grades (120-150°C) are ideal for polyolefins and EVA. High-temperature grades (160-240°C) are designed for rubber/elastomers and engineering plastics.

Question 21

Can I order foamed microspheres in powder or masterbatch form?

Accepted Answer

Yes, foamed microspheres are available in both powder form (dry microspheres, typically 10-50 µm particle size) and masterbatch form (microspheres pre-dispersed in polymer carriers such as EVA, PE, or TPE). The masterbatch form offers easier handling, better dispersion, and reduced dust. We can customize the carrier polymer and concentration to match your production process.

Question 22

What are the minimum order quantities for foamed microspheres and additives?

Accepted Answer

For foamed microspheres powder, the standard MOQ is 25 kg. For masterbatch, the MOQ is 100 kg depending on the carrier type. For multi-functional additives, MOQ varies by product type — typically 50 kg for standard grades. Sample quantities (1-5 kg) are available for evaluation.

Question 23

How do I choose the right foamed microspheres for my application?

Accepted Answer

Selection depends on three key factors: 1) Processing temperature — choose microspheres with foaming temperature matching your process (85-240°C range available). 2) Desired expansion ratio — different grades offer 2x to 60x volume expansion. 3) Carrier compatibility — for masterbatch, ensure the carrier polymer is compatible with your base material. Our technical team can recommend the optimal grade based on your application, equipment, and material system.

Question 24

Can silicone gel film be combined with foamed microspheres in a composite structure?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we have developed composite solutions combining our silicone gel films with foamed microsphere technology. For example, silicone gel coated foam tapes use a foamed microsphere core layer for thickness and conformability, with silicone gel adhesive on one or both sides. These composites offer unique properties such as controlled compression, thermal management, and enhanced adhesion on irregular surfaces.

Question 25

What additive solutions do you offer for polymer modification?

Accepted Answer

We offer a range of multi-functional additives including: anti-scratch and mar resistance agents, surface slip and anti-block agents, anti-static and conductive additives, coupling agents for filler dispersion, and processing aids for improved flow and mold release. These additives are available in powder, pellet, or masterbatch form and are compatible with polyolefins, engineering plastics, and elastomers.

Question 26

Do you provide technical support for product development?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Our technical team provides end-to-end support including material selection guidance, formulation optimization, prototype development, and process parameter recommendations (temperature, pressure, dwell time). We can also conduct compatibility testing with your existing materials and production line. Whether you are developing a new wound dressing, a lightweight automotive component, or a specialty tape, we are here to help.

Question 27

What is NABUE's approach to sustainability?

Accepted Answer

We are committed to sustainable manufacturing practices. Our foamed microspheres technology inherently reduces material consumption by enabling weight reduction of 20-60% in end products. We continuously optimize our production processes to reduce energy consumption and waste. We also offer eco-friendly packaging options and support customers in developing recyclable and lightweight products that reduce their carbon footprint.
