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 Yes Better FA-110 Best cell structure with higher cell density; provides better structural integrity and lower density in standard IM processes PP, PE, PS, PVC Yes Best 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 EXCELITE IM – PRODUCT FORMULATIONS www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

If filling problems exist in thin walled parts, adding flow channels or minor changes in wall thickness can alter the flow. In some cases, it may be necessary to add a second gate to properly fill the parts. Vents should be placed at the last place to fill and in areas where weld lines occur.
