• Low refractive index
• Spherical shape and narrow particle size distribution
• Low surface energy can help impart lubricity and slip properties
• High-heat stability
• High cross-link density
• Reduces glare and reflection
• Effective at low dosage levels for improved formulation costs
• Low dosage levels compared to polycarbonate systems
• Compatible with various polymer systems
• Improved product quality due to the low refractive index and uniform particle size that contributes to better light diffusion and matte finish
• Thermal stability for plastic extrusion and blown film processes

Low light diffusion in commercial lighting or optical applications
Limited control over the light diffusion or fabrication of parts that are used as part of light sources
Heat stability or withstanding the high temperature of plastic extrusion processes
High loading rate or increased cost of polycarbonate light diffusers
