TARGET APPLICATIONS
Excelite IM chemical foaming additives (CFAs) are
engineered for a wide range of injection molded
polymers: olefins, PVC, polystyrene, PC/ABS and
high heat applications.
They are exceptionally
well-suited for larger parts with greater thickness
and mass.

ALTERNATIVE TO METAL
CARBON FIBER COMPOSITES
Thomas Edison used
carbon fiber as light bulb
filament in the late 1800s.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-08/colormatrix-aazure-brochure-1.pdf
It enables:
• Increased rPET content
• Reduced CO2 emissions
When added to PET preforms and bottles,
ColorMatrix AAzure helps to:
• Improve bottle quality
- Reduced preform acetaldehyde
by up to 80%
- Improved mechanical strength
- Lightweighting
• Improve processability
- Reduced bottle blowouts
- Reduced scrap
- Improved productivity
• Reduce energy consumption during
bottle blowing process
ColorMatrix AAzure has a slight blue tint, which is
useful for off-setting yellowing often associated
with the use of rPET, and has minimal impact on
final product color or aesthetics.
This
improves processability at high levels
of rPET, reducing blowouts, improving
productivity, allowing for higher levels
of rPET use, and also lightweighting.
