It is always recommended to test the container at multiple points in the wall section (at least at the thickest and thinnest locations) to fully assess the UV barrier capability.
Base your additive concentration on the thinnest point in the wall section to ensure adequate protection across the entire container.

Specific grades are
available to meet food contact requirements and also
as nucleating additives for physical foaming agents.
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

Traditionally, molding with short and long
glass-filled polypropylene to gain flexural
performance over unfilled polypropylene
also results in a loss of impact resistance.
