More Reducing Weight in Automotive Parts Foaming agent decreases dashboard weight by 20% while improving part bending strength, ultimately enhancing vehicle safety. More UV Barrier Additives These three considerations will help your application harness the power of UV barrier additives. More Additives for Productivity Find out how a luxury European automaker met peak demand with a new cycle time reduction additive.

We supply fluoropolymer and high-temperature thermoplastics-based colorant and additive concentrates and compounds, dispersed pigments for coloring PTFE, functional additives such as laser marking, foaming agents, conductive, antistatic, radiopaque, reinforced, and cross-linked grades, as well as a full range of printing, striping, and marking inks. Manufactured without intentionally added PFAS and without PTFE CHEMICAL FOAMING ADDITIVES Colorant Chromatics chemical foaming solutions for fluoropolymer wire insulation can reduce part density while enhancing the stability and efficiency of the manufacturing process without the need to invest in additional equipment for physical foaming with blowing agents. PHYSICAL FOAM CONCENTRATES Colorant Chromatics Foam Concentrates for foam processes with blowing agents provide a concentrated level of nucleating agent to optimize the cell structure in a foamed resin.

CASE STUDY: EXCELITE™ IM CHEMICAL FOAMING ADDITIVES THE CHALLENGE With more major OEMs introducing lightweighting initiatives, the use of chemical foaming additives (CFAs) is becoming more common among automotive injection molders. Using conventional CFA ingredients, a special conditioning process was used to prepare the raw material for optimal foaming performance upon polymer interaction. Dispersion and performance of the additive was critical to success.
