AND DOCUMENTATION
Raw materials tested to:
• ISO 10993-1 and USP , (biological
evaluation)
• European Pharmacopeia 3.1.3/3.1.5 (polyolefin
—materials used for the manufacture of
containers)
• USP (polyethylene—plastic materials of
construction)
• ICH Q3D (elemental impurities)
We provide Drug Master File (Type III) documentation
and other supporting regulatory declarations that
are relevant for the application.
REDUCED MATERIAL USE
Chemical Foaming Agents (CFA)
Mevopur CFA products are the result of Avient’s
combined experiences in the development
of chemical foaming agents for automotive
plastic components and of polymer solutions
for healthcare applications.
They
also improve the visual appearance of plastic
components by reducing sink marks.

You may also hear these composites described as "plastic composites" or "fiber-reinforced plastic."
Advanced composite materials are often used to replace a metal, wood, or other traditional material.
While you may also hear these composites described as “plastic composites” or “reinforced plastic,” historically composite materials are most commonly thermoset.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-06/CAI Animal Free Additives Product Bulletin.pdf
Eco-conscious packaging
compositions are preferred by customers, pushing
convertors and brand owners to use sustainable
materials—perhaps partially based on renewable
or bio-derived sources—that also ensure food
contact compliance.
Cesa™ Nox Additives
Cesa Nox antioxidant solutions help plastics
maintain shine and transparency while preventing
yellowing, surface cracking, and odors often caused
by oxidation and heat aging.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-12/Mevopur Healthcare Bio-based Polymer Solutions Application Bulletin.pdf
Bio-polymers are already used with success in
different plastic products, notably in packaging,
but to be used in healthcare applications, they
need to be evaluated to the relevant protocols to
support regulatory compliance of the end article.
Avient provides pre-tested color and additive
concentrates based on bio-polymers to minimize
the risk of non-compliance and support a more
sustainable profile for plastic products used in the
healthcare industry.

PRODUCTS APPLICATIONS DESCRIPTION/BENEFITS
EXCELITE PF-1 PVC sheet for digital print or trimboard;
Fine cell structure able to target low density:
improves consistency and control over
foaming process
FOAM ADDITIVE-54 PVC sheet for digital print or trimboard;
Finer cell structure than PF-1 promotes ultra
smooth surface finish; improves consistency
and control over foaming process
PF-1E & FA-54E
ADDITIVES
PVC sheet for digital print or trimboard;
Enhanced run time formulation reduces
die lip build-up in PVC processes, leading
to longer production run times
FOAM ADDITIVE-33 CaZN formulations for PVC sheet,
profile, or trimboard
Promotes finer cell structure,
higher cell density, and surface
quality in CaZN PVC dryblends
FOAM ADDITIVE-77 HDPE sheet & plastic lumber
Industry-leading cell structure and cell
density; achieves lower density without
sacrificing quality; self-nucleating and able
to increase extruder output rates up to 15%
FOAM ADDITIVE-85
Endothermic foam or
nucleating additive for olefin and
styrene polymers; plastic lumber,
sheet applications and
food packaging products
Can be used as a CFA or nucleating additive;
nucleating capabilities promote fine cell
structure and high cell density; achieves
greater density reductions with more
consistency and control
FOAM ADDITIVE-37 HDPE sheet & plastic lumber
Good cell structure and cell density
in HDPE lumber; greater consistency
and control over foaming process
EXCELITE CAN IMPROVE PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY
• The process operator has full control of density
• Minimizes product rejection due to unnecessarily high/low density
• Production should consistently target the bottom of the density specification
• Enables control over the reintroduction of regrind or reprocessed materials as a feedstock
• Enables the consistent foaming of products using higher percentages of regrind
• Carrier selection can promote longer run times, enabling increased line productivity through
less plate-out or material build-up on die lips
EXCELITE CAN IMPROVE SURFACE FINISH
Excelite additives creates a fine, consistent cell structure within the extruded polymer, which determine
the surface roughness.
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

Thus, a complete
understanding of the TPEs, engineering plastics, and associated details about molding these materials
is essential to produce high-quality finished products.

Overmolding
Overmolding is the injection molding process where one material (usually a TPE) is molded
onto a second material (typically a rigid plastic).
