Caption: New sustainable and compliant MEVOPUR™ products – color and additive masterbatches based on bio-derived polyethylene, and chemical foaming agents – are being introduced by Avient at Pharmapack Europe 2021. Also being featured at Pharmapack, MEVOPUR foaming agents help manufacturers of pharmaceutical packaging and medical devices add another level of sustainability to their products. Intended for use in polyolefins, styrenics, and copolymers, these medical-grade foaming agents are the first such additives to be produced under the MEVOPUR protocols.

PolyOne Introduces Excelite™ IM Chemical Foaming Additives for Injection Molding CLEVELAND – August 5, 2019 – PolyOne today announced availability of ColorMatrix™ Excelite™ IM chemical foaming additives (CFAs), formulated s

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. Excelite IM Chemical Foaming Additives: • The only patented liquid CFA in North America and Europe • Supported with customized dosing equipment and technical assistance • Typically contains 70% active CFA content, dispersed in proprietary liquid vehicles LIQUID CFAs PROVIDE A TOP TIER-1 MOLDER WITH A CONSISTENT SOLUTION © 2020, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 Interested in learning about how Avient can help your business?

These chemical foaming solutions for fluoropolymer wire insulation are suitable for FEP and PFA polymers and are available globally. 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. Foamed polymers provide enhanced electrical properties, reduced cable weight, and material cost savings.

Total polymer solutions range from flame retardant, non-halogenated, low smoke polymers and lightweight foam to cross-linkable polyethylene and high-temperature materials.
