ColorMatrix™ Excelite™ IM 3

ColorMatrix™ Excelite™ IM 3 by Avient is an endothermic chemical foaming agent, which causes gas to evolve under thermal decomposition. It is suitable for injection molding applications. It provides high density reduction with larger cell size. It is utilized for weight reduction, sink mark removal or dimensional stability. It provides greater uniformity of foaming and shot-to-shot consistency, offering wider product processing window. It offers smooth surface, high concentration of active CFA and improved distribution of CFA into polymer matrix. ColorMatrix™ Excelite™ IM 3 is engineered for wide range of polymers including PP, PE, PVC and polystyrene. It finds application in cell nucleators for structural foam applications. It is used at 0.12-0.5% concentration.
