Foaming Agents

ColorMatrix's Excelite liquid foaming agent technology has been engineered to lightweight extruded PVC by reducing material density without compromising aesthetic quality. Key benefits include:

Significant Cost Savings

Lightweighting with Excelite can typically achieve densities of 0.45g/cm3 and less, without adverse effects on quality surface finish and other physical properties. The accuracy of ColorMatrix liquid dosing technologies can also provide further production efficiencies and significant energy and wastage savings.

Improved Surface Finish

Excelite™ liquid foaming agent creates a much finer, more consistent cell structure within the extruded polymer. This allows a smoother surface finish to be created which in printed materials can be particularly beneficial for an improved print finish with greater clarity and definition.

Greater Production Flexibility

Excelite™ liquid foaming agent is delivered directly to the extruder feed throat. This enables more frequent production changes, smaller production quantities become viable and greater in line production flexibility can be achieved.

A Cleaner, Healthier Process

Liquid formulation is clean and highly accurate process with none of the Health & Safety concerns that can become a problem with traditional foaming agents.
