ColorMatrix™ Excelite™ IM Chemical Foaming Additives for Injection Molding ColorMatrix™ Excelite™ IM formulations for injection molding feature fully endothermic chemical foaming agents which, when under thermal decomposition, cause gas to evolve. Cell nucleator for structural foam applications. PP, PE, PS, PVC No Good Foam PP Better, larger cells with lower cell density in standard IM processes; suitable for cell nucleation in structural foam processing PP, PE, PS, PVC Yes Better FA-110 Best cell structure with higher cell density; provides better structural integrity and lower density in standard IM processes PP, PE, PS, PVC Yes Best KEY CHARACTERISTICS Excelite IM formulations provide injection molders with: • Material density and weight reduction • High concentration of active CFA • Improved distribution of CFA into polymer matrix • High cell density with tight cell structure • Control over consistency and accuracy • Reduced sink marks • Ability to improve flow of material • Cycle time reduction • Improved dimensional stability • Improved thermal insulation EXCELITE IM – PRODUCT FORMULATIONS www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

Evoluscend is effective across a range of high- temperature polymers, including PEEK, PPSU, PES, PSU, PEI, LCP, and PPS, with a maximum service temperature exceeding 150°C Manufactured without intentionally added PFAS and without PTFE CHEMICAL FOAMING ADDITIVES Colorant Chromatics chemical foaming solutions for fluoropolymer wire insulation can reduce part density while enhancing the stability and efficiency of the manufacturing process without the need to invest in additional equipment for physical foaming with blowing agents. PHYSICAL FOAM CONCENTRATES Colorant Chromatics Foam Concentrates for foam processes with blowing agents provide a concentrated level of nucleating agent to optimize the cell structure in a foamed resin.

Homepage // News Center // PolyOne Introduces Excelite™ IM Chemical Foaming Additives for Injection Molding New Excelite IM chemical foaming additives are suitable for use in automotive, construction, commercial, personal care packaging or structural foamed applications.  PHOTO CAPTION: Excelite™ IM chemical foaming additives allow injection molders to reduce weight and density in molded parts such as pallets, crates, storage boxes and more.

These include PE, PP, ABS, SAN, PC/ABS, PC, PA6, 66 and 12, cyclic olefins (COP), high performance polymers, and elastomers such as EVA, SEBS, TPU and PEBA. REDUCED MATERIAL USE Chemical Foaming Agents (CFA) Mevopur CFA products are the result of Avient’s combined experiences in the development of chemical foaming agents for automotive plastic components and of polymer solutions for healthcare applications. The cycle time in injection molding can be reduced (10–15% in PP) to support higher output and less energy consumption.
