https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-08/ColorMatrix Excelite Product Bulletin.pdf
Formulations
typically feature a combination of exothermic
and endothermic agents which, when under
thermal decomposition, cause gas to evolve
forming a cellular structure in the polymer matrix.
Excelite additives are not subject to significant
thermal exposure in the manufacturing process, so
the formulations are optimized for decomposition
during the customer process.
PRODUCT BULLETIN
EXCELITE - COMMON FORMULATIONS
USAGE RATES
Typically Excelite additives are dosed between 0.2% and 1.2% depending on the polymer, application and the
density requirement.

Since
polymers interact differently with laser energy,
making them more or less suitable for laser welding,
special polymer solutions can be used to enhance
a polymer’s ability to interact with the laser energy
and achieve a good weld.
Ready-to-use formulations
can be offered to solve any dispersion issues.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Manufactured at four ISO 13485 certified sites,
providing global consistency and increased
security of supply
• Documented change control beyond CAS
number, reducing risk of change
• Available as additive concentrates, ready-to-use
additive formulations or ready-to-use additive/
colorant formulations for different polymers
REGULATORY SUPPORT
• Raw materials tested to:
- ISO 10993-1 and USP biological
evaluation
- European Pharmacopeia 3.1.3/3.1.5
(polyolefin)
- USP (polyethylene)
- ICH Q3D elemental impurities
• Registered Drug Master File (Type III) and/or
Device Master File
• Food contact established with FDA/EU*
