TARGET APPLICATIONS Excelite IM chemical foaming additives (CFAs) are engineered for a wide range of injection molded polymers: olefins, PVC, polystyrene, PC/ABS and high heat applications. PP, PE, PS, PVC No Good Foam PP Better, larger cells with lower cell density in standard IM processes; suitable for cell nucleation in structural foam processing PP, PE, PS, PVC Yes Better FA-110 Best cell structure with higher cell density; provides better structural integrity and lower density in standard IM processes PP, PE, PS, PVC Yes Best KEY CHARACTERISTICS Excelite IM formulations provide injection molders with: • Material density and weight reduction • High concentration of active CFA • Improved distribution of CFA into polymer matrix • High cell density with tight cell structure • Control over consistency and accuracy • Reduced sink marks • Ability to improve flow of material • Cycle time reduction • Improved dimensional stability • Improved thermal insulation EXCELITE IM – PRODUCT FORMULATIONS www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

Key applications for this material are within the automotive sector including parts such as UTH covers, panels and inserts, fans and air management systems, battery trays, roofing systems and interior and exterior components.

Shrinkage dry air 177 ̊ 30 mins (%)

This reduction in IR energy significantly reduces the need for expensive and energy-intensive air conditioning.

The sensor directly measures and averages duct air temperatures to control heating and cooling in the vehicle.

Venting is required to allow the air in the sprue, runner and cavity to leave the tool as the melt flows into the cavity. Potential air traps in the part design can be predicted by flow simulation software. Air ejection and the use of poppet can help strip large undercuts providing the material has room to deform when the air is applied.
