Animal Testing Policy AVIENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES In the normal course of doing business, Avient is required to conduct testing to ensure the safety of its products.
Avient is committed to replacing, reducing and refining the use of animal testing by applying the following practices: • Replace – Before any vertebrae testing, Avient will investigate the use of alternative methods and approaches, including use of data that is already publically available, computational toxicology models and read-across to available data for similar substances. • Reduce – Avient will only consider animal testing if it is a legal requirement, or to ensure the safety of our products, when no suitable alternatives are available.

This often involves food contact approvals that extend beyond the EU or the USA, and take into consideration specific regions or other food safety standards.
Cesa™ & OnCap™ Anti-blocking Additives In order to prevent self-adhesion of plastic films or sheets, anti-blocking additives reduce the surface coefficient of friction by creating a slightly rougher or smoother surface.
Cesa™ Stat Additives & OnCap™ Anti-static Additives Static charges that build up on the surface of plastic products can attract dust and dirt, cause sheets and film to cling, and cause stacked products to stick together.
