CFRP materials are highly regarded for their superior strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, stiffness and durability.
Due to the inherent corrosion resistance of thermoset resins, CFRP products do not rust or corrode and in turn have a longer product lifetime than typical metal materials.
The superior strength, low weight, corrosion resistance and ability to adhere to concrete make carbon fiber composites an excellent material for infrastructure applications that require strength and durability.

Excelite additives are available for numerous foaming
applications, such as profiles, siding, decking,
molding and pipe.
PRODUCTS APPLICATIONS DESCRIPTION/BENEFITS
EXCELITE PF-1
PVC sheet for digital print or trimboard;
profiles & decking
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;
profiles & decking
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;
profiles & decking
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

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites are prized for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, high stiffness, durability, and resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and environmental exposures.
By using composite materials for poles and other components, electrical utilities and telecom providers can:
• Reduce the need for part maintenance and replacement
• Simplify transportation to the job site and installation
• Enhance product performance with resistance to corrosion, heat, weather and flame

HMPE for example, has a
specific gravity less than 1 and will float in water.
• Corrosion
Since our products are non-corrosive, they offer outstanding
performance in corrosive environments, including marine and off-
shore applications.
• Conductivity
High-performance synthetic fibers act as a barrier between eletrical
components.
• Creep
When exposed to static long-term loads, synthetic fibers stretch very
little.
High Strength Synthetic Fibers Outperform Steel
Our Products add
• Strength
On an equivalent weight basis, fibers like Aramid, LCP, and PBO are
5-10 times stronger than steel.
• Chemical Resistance
High performance fibers resist soiling and the absorption of water,
solvents, and other chemicals.
• Abrasion Resistance
HMPE as a jacketing material, is a great example of the excellent
abrasion resistance of high performance fibers.
• Fatigue Resistance
Aramid Fibers have exceptional bending and tensile fatigue
resistance.
• Safer Handling
Because synthetic fibers are flexible and weigh less than steel, they
are easier to work with, lead to fewer weight-related injuries and
completely eliminates fish hooks.
• Dampening
Synthetic fiber cables have excellent shock absorption and load
dampening properties.
They also add important characteristics, such as
SWELLCOAT® water-blocking, water repellence, adhe-
sion, color, and wear and UV-resistance to these and
many other applications.
