HOW IT WORKS
Excelite additives typically contain 70%wt of active
chemical foaming agent (CFA), dispersed in a liquid
carrier, thus promoting greater product efficiency.
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

Working together, the Caplex robotic
system and the PRO-002 prosthetic foot will predict the
patient’s long-term preference for a particular model.
Humotech is currently working with the
US Department of Defense, US Department of Veterans
Affairs, and others to develop, evaluate, and validate
this emulator-based test-drive strategy.

THE SOLUTION
Working with Avient, a long-time supplier and
project collaborator, Hoyt engineers explained their
performance goals of enhancing accuracy and comfort
while maintaining its grip design.
Working with the Avient Design team on our
VITALPOINT™ grip project was a big win for us.

THE SOLUTION
With its global footprint, Avient was able to work with
DENSO both in initial trials in Japan as well as locally
at a manufacturing facility in Europe.
The technical services team at Avient worked closely
with the European material engineering team at
DENSO under the lead of Mr.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-10/fluoropolymer-cable-case-study-.pdf
The challenge arose when the
company began working with a local supplier, in an
effort to keep logistics easy to manage.
Because every pound of scrap can lead to higher costs
and the potential loss of hard-earned customers, the
Avient team worked overtime to develop a formulation
that could be easily integrated into the manufacturer’s
production lines.
