A compounding extruder connected to the impregnation die functions as a melt pump feeding molten thermoplastic polymer into the process.  Instead of simply coating fiber tows with polymer – inside PlastiComp’s impregnation die individual filaments in the fiber tows are spread apart so each is encapsulated with thermoplastic polymer.  This fiber to polymer bond is key to obtaining optimum performance and having a true composite material.

Formulations typically feature a combination of exothermic and endothermic agents which, when under thermal decomposition, cause gas to evolve forming a cellular structure in the polymer matrix. Excelite additives are not subject to significant thermal exposure in the manufacturing process, so the formulations are optimized for decomposition during the customer process. PRODUCT BULLETIN EXCELITE - COMMON FORMULATIONS USAGE RATES Typically Excelite additives are dosed between 0.2% and 1.2% depending on the polymer, application and the density requirement.

Since polymers interact differently with laser energy, making them more or less suitable for laser welding, special polymer solutions can be used to enhance a polymer’s ability to interact with the laser energy and achieve a good weld. Ready-to-use formulations can be offered to solve any dispersion issues. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Manufactured at four ISO 13485 certified sites, providing global consistency and increased security of supply • Documented change control beyond CAS number, reducing risk of change • Available as additive concentrates, ready-to-use additive formulations or ready-to-use additive/ colorant formulations for different polymers REGULATORY SUPPORT • Raw materials tested to: - ISO 10993-1 and USP biological evaluation - European Pharmacopeia 3.1.3/3.1.5 (polyolefin) - USP (polyethylene) - ICH Q3D elemental impurities • Registered Drug Master File (Type III) and/or Device Master File • Food contact established with FDA/EU* APPLICATION BULLETIN * FDA/EU compliance information available upon request; exceptions may occur Healthcare use limitations apply—see below.

When a product is classified as an "FDA grade" material, it designates that only 21 CFR, parts 170-199 approved materials are used in its formulation. Softening/melt temperatures vary with polymer type and grade. As with other elastomer properties, shrinkage often varies with the direction of polymer flow.
