Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents Avient's Foaming Prediction Service Foaming Prediction Service

Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives Chemical Foaming Agents (CFA) for Medical Devices and Pharmaceutical Packaging As the need to integrate sustainability in the design of healthcare products is growing, manufacturers of medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging are looking for materials with a more environmentally-friendly profile. One angle is to offer chemical foaming agents that help reduce plastic material use. These CFAs are the result of Avient’s combined experiences in the development of chemical foaming agents for automotive plastic components and polymer solutions for healthcare applications.

ColorMatrix™ Excelite™ Foaming Agents High performance liquid foaming additives for extrusion applications PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Excelite™ high performance liquid foaming additives are specifically designed for vinyl, polyethylene and polystyrene foaming applications. This provides enhanced cell structure and consistent foaming. Specific grades are available to meet food contact requirements and also as nucleating additives for physical foaming agents.

Chemical foaming agents, materials that generate gas upon decomposition, also act as nucleating agents. The fine-grain spherulite structure of ingredients incorporated in Hydrocerol™ chemical foaming agents make it an ideal nucleating agent in direct gassed PS and polyolefin foams.

Avient Corporation will highlight Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents, which can be used to reduce weight in automotive applications such as door panels, at the Plastics in Automotive Engineering (PIAE) Conference 2024 This will also highlight Avient’s new Foaming Prediction Service, which helps predict the behavior and maximum weight reduction of foamed parts, reducing the need for physical trials and testing. Avient does this by offering a multitude of solutions, including those that can enable greater use of recycled materials, such as its award-winning Color Prediction Service, and lightweighting solutions, such as Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents.

Foaming Prediction Service Avient’s Foaming Prediction Service uses 3D simulation software to help predict weight reduction, cycle time, and the mechanical properties of automotive parts foamed with Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents.
