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.
PP, PE,
PS, PVC
No Good
Foam PP
Better, larger cells with lower cell
density in standard IM processes;
suitable for cell nucleation in
structural foam processing
PP, PE,
PS, PVC

FA-110
Best cell structure with higher cell
density; provides better structural
integrity and lower density in
standard IM processes

KEY CHARACTERISTICS
Excelite IM formulations provide
injection molders with:
• Material density and weight reduction
• High concentration of active CFA
• Improved distribution of CFA into
polymer matrix
• High cell density with tight cell structure
• Control over consistency and accuracy
• Reduced sink marks
• Ability to improve flow of material
• Cycle time reduction
• Improved dimensional stability
• Improved thermal insulation
