forms a cellular structure in the polymer matrix.
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.
These versatile CFAs are ideal for use in a wide
range of industries, including:
• Automotive
• Construction
• Commercial
• Personal care packaging
• Structural foamed applications
• Consumer goods, including specific grades
available to meet food contact requirements

POLYAMIDE TYPE
Polyamides are a family of semi-crystalline engineering polymers with variations in chemistries,
melting point and crystallinity.
It is more difficult for a TPE to form a melt bond with a semi-
crystalline polymer, such as polyamide, than with an amorphous polymer like polycarbonate.
This new technology provides a universal nylon overmold solution for
polyamides and offer superior performance over other commercially available TPEs.
