However, these technologies present <strong>control limitations<\/strong>, <strong>non-uniform internal structure<\/strong>, and <strong>risks of mechanical weakening<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<h2>LATIMASS 67-04 D009: Lightweight Compound without Blowing Agent<\/h2>\n<p>A valid alternative to blowing agents is represented by <strong>lightweight thermoplastic compounds with hollow glass spheres<\/strong>, such as <strong>LATIMASS 67-04 D009<\/strong>.<br \/>\nThis material allows for the production of <strong>light and strong products<\/strong>, thanks to the synergy between:

spheres do not generate gas or irregular cavities within the material.<br \/>\nThanks to their stable geometry, they <strong>maintain their shape during the injection molding process<\/strong>,
