Synonym for scalable?

I'm writing marketing material for a technology product, and was using the word "scalar" perhaps incorrectly. The product has the capacity to be expanded indefinitely by simply adding more of the product. The best word I could find in the dictionary and on Wikipedia is scalable, but I don't like how that sounds - it sounds like it has too many syllables and I don't like ending in "able".

I thought scalar meant the same thing but it turns out that may not be the case. Here is example of what I'm writing:

My product is completely scalar. - Wrong!

My Product is completely scalable. - Right, but not smooth.

I think 'expandable' (in spite of the suffix) is often in use in that situation.
