In this case, a top tier-1 automotive molder was
routinely running cycle times longer than originally
quoted, as inconsistencies in CFA performance were
creating processing issues and generating more scrap.
THE SOLUTION
The Avient technical team leveraged expertise in liquid
formulations with the science of dispersion to develop
Excelite™ IM, a CFA solution that targeted automotive
injection molding applications and would help address
the issues of this tier-1 molder.
This tier-1 molder could now achieve a uniform,
statistical distribution of active CFA content with an
added degree of control that is unrivaled in the
industry today.
