In this case, a top tier-1 automotive molder was routinely running cycle times longer than originally quoted, as inconsistencies in CFA performance were creating processing issues and generating more scrap. THE SOLUTION The Avient technical team leveraged expertise in liquid formulations with the science of dispersion to develop Excelite™ IM, a CFA solution that targeted automotive injection molding applications and would help address the issues of this tier-1 molder. This tier-1 molder could now achieve a uniform, statistical distribution of active CFA content with an added degree of control that is unrivaled in the industry today.
