CASE STUDY: EXCELITE™ IM CHEMICAL FOAMING ADDITIVES
THE CHALLENGE
With more major OEMs introducing lightweighting
initiatives, the use of chemical foaming additives (CFAs)
is becoming more common among automotive injection
molders.
Using conventional CFA ingredients, a special
conditioning process was used to prepare the raw
material for optimal foaming performance upon
polymer interaction.
Excelite IM Chemical Foaming Additives:
• The only patented liquid CFA in North America
and Europe
• Supported with customized dosing equipment
and technical assistance
• Typically contains 70% active CFA content,
dispersed in proprietary liquid vehicles
LIQUID CFAs PROVIDE A TOP TIER-1 MOLDER
WITH A CONSISTENT SOLUTION
