This small drop can be a game-changer in efficiencies for a typical PVC extruder. THE IMPACT As tests and trials were conducted, it was shown that the Excelite dispersion interacted more intimately and consistently with PVC resin, essentially becoming part of the PVC resin matrix. To illustrate, in the same PVC dryblend (pictured below), Excelite significanty reduced density with little to no effect on cell quality.
