The problem is that most polymer housings are not able to resist the chemicals involved in this treatment without cracking. The manufacturer was struggling to find a replacement material with excellent chemical resistance and a high flame retardant rating. Since chemical resistance was one of the most important requirements for this solution, stress tests involving disinfectants were used to filter initial options.

A SOLUTION FOR TAKING CONTROL CASE STUDY: EXCELITE™ CHEMICAL FOAMING ADDITIVES Challe nge Accepted. THE SOLUTION The Avient technical team leveraged its expertise in liquid colorants and chemical additives to scientifically engineer its line of ColorMatrix™ Excelite™ chemical foaming additives (CFAs) for PVC processing.
