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. HOW IT WORKS Excelite additives typically contain 70%wt of active chemical foaming agent (CFA), dispersed in a liquid carrier, thus promoting greater product efficiency. Specific grades are available to meet food contact requirements and also as nucleating additives for physical foaming agents.

Sustainability Spotlight Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents Reflection electron microscopy (REM) view of foamed plastic Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents are supplied as concentrates CHEMICAL FOAMING AGENTS (CFAs) are chemical substances that react under the influence of heat to release gas into the plastic matrix during the manufacturing process of plastic parts. Wire & Cable Chemical foaming agents can be used in polymers for wire and cable applications as nucleating agents in the physical foaming process, creating regular and small foam cells. Up to 30% weight reduction can be achieved with Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents in these applications.

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. Nucleating solutions Mevopur nucleating agents help produce thinner walls in polyolefin applications while maintaining main mechanical properties and stability of the end article. Examples of custom formulations that help achieve a more sustainable product profile are a nucleating agent combined with color in a ready-to-use formulation or a desired color offered in a bio-polymer based ready-to-use product.
