The agricultural
market is looking to biopolymers as a new
solution to lower environmental impact, while
the packaging sector is turning to biopolymers
since compostability can be seen as beneficial
when compared to reuse and other forms of
packaging recovery.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-08/colormatrix-joule-fast-reheat-dispersions-tech-bulletin-a4.pdf
On occasion, Joule
RHB products can also be used in bottle polymer
destined for water applications, but this usage
decision depends on the application tolerance to
color which must be determined via marketing
specialists prior to any trials.

EXCELITE VS POWDER
• Enables a greater level of density control, through
consistent distribution in the polymer
• Simplifies and optimizes resin compounding
capabilities (PVC dry blends)
• Enables greater control over foaming and expands
processing window when re-introducing regrind
• Clean and highly accurate dosing process, with
fewer of the health and safety concerns that can
become apparent with powder CFAs
EXCELITE VS PELLET
• Being significantly more concentrated, Excelite additive enables lower total cost to foam
• Can achieve lower density, less carrier influence
• Finer and tighter cell structure through better additive distribution
• Improved linear consistency of cell structure as ColorMatrix pumps continually meter output,
giving greater stability over material dosing
• Improved plant working capital as lower let down ratios means less material is consumed and
reduces inventory holdings
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
• Avient has a market leading service team which understands
foaming processes, we assist customers to deliver performance
and production efficiencies with Excelite™ technology
• Please contact your local Avient representative for additional
information on our line of foaming additives
