PP, PE, PS, PVC No Good Foam PP Better, larger cells with lower cell density in standard IM processes; suitable for cell nucleation in structural foam processing PP, PE, PS, PVC Yes Better FA-110 Best cell structure with higher cell density; provides better structural integrity and lower density in standard IM processes PP, PE, PS, PVC Yes Best KEY CHARACTERISTICS Excelite IM formulations provide injection molders with: • Material density and weight reduction • High concentration of active CFA • Improved distribution of CFA into polymer matrix • High cell density with tight cell structure • Control over consistency and accuracy • Reduced sink marks • Ability to improve flow of material • Cycle time reduction • Improved dimensional stability • Improved thermal insulation EXCELITE IM – PRODUCT FORMULATIONS www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

Polypropylene (PP) carriers are recommended for the harder SEBS formulations. PP carrier is not recommended for softer grades, as the formulation hardness will be affected. The use of a small amount of a dusting agent such as talc or calcium carbonate can minimize agglomeration during the grinding process.
