PRODUCTS APPLICATIONS DESCRIPTION/BENEFITS
EXCELITE PF-1 PVC sheet for digital print or trimboard;
Fine cell structure able to target low density:
improves consistency and control over
foaming process
FOAM ADDITIVE-54 PVC sheet for digital print or trimboard;
Finer cell structure than PF-1 promotes ultra
smooth surface finish; improves consistency
and control over foaming process
PF-1E & FA-54E
ADDITIVES
PVC sheet for digital print or trimboard;
Enhanced run time formulation reduces
die lip build-up in PVC processes, leading
to longer production run times
FOAM ADDITIVE-33 CaZN formulations for PVC sheet,
profile, or trimboard
Promotes finer cell structure,
higher cell density, and surface
quality in CaZN PVC dryblends
FOAM ADDITIVE-77 HDPE sheet & plastic lumber
Industry-leading cell structure and cell
density; achieves lower density without
sacrificing quality; self-nucleating and able
to increase extruder output rates up to 15%
FOAM ADDITIVE-85
Endothermic foam or
nucleating additive for olefin and
styrene polymers; plastic lumber,
sheet applications and
food packaging products
Can be used as a CFA or nucleating additive;
nucleating capabilities promote fine cell
structure and high cell density; achieves
greater density reductions with more
consistency and control
FOAM ADDITIVE-37 HDPE sheet & plastic lumber
Good cell structure and cell density
in HDPE lumber; greater consistency
and control over foaming process
EXCELITE CAN IMPROVE PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY
• The process operator has full control of density
• Minimizes product rejection due to unnecessarily high/low density
• Production should consistently target the bottom of the density specification
• Enables control over the reintroduction of regrind or reprocessed materials as a feedstock
• Enables the consistent foaming of products using higher percentages of regrind
• Carrier selection can promote longer run times, enabling increased line productivity through
less plate-out or material build-up on die lips
EXCELITE CAN IMPROVE SURFACE FINISH
Excelite additives creates a fine, consistent cell structure within the extruded polymer, which determine
the surface roughness.
Consistency of surface both chemically and physically leads to more even wetting
of the ink which ensures good dot definition—the key to higher quality digital print images.
