emissions during manufacturing
• Eliminates secondary coating and drying
operations
• Eliminates hazardous liquid chemicals
compared to solvent systems
• Reduces converting costs versus coating
• Reduces energy consumption
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
Versaflex PF formulations, customizable
based on desired level of tack, are co-extruded

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-11/Smarter Materials High Performance Thermoplastics.pdf
Following are top reasons why many manufacturers and designers choose
high-performance thermoplastics:
• High-temperature resistance • Chemical resistance
• Flame/smoke/toxicity (FST) performance • Chemically inert
PLUS, ALL
THE BENEFITS
OF PLASTIC
In addition to their elite-level properties,
high-performance thermoplastics deliver
the typical advantages of polymers over
other material types such as metal, glass and
ceramic, including:
• Light weight
• Design freedom/part consolidation
• Easy colorability
• Efficient, high-volume processing
• Elimination of secondary operations
• Enhanced product experience
for the end user
- quieter environment
- improved tactile feel
- better usability
ADVANTAGES
Going Above
and Beyond
• Amorphous structure
• High marks for toughness, chemical resistance,
hydrolytic stability, resistance to boiling water,
and extreme thermal capabilities
• Best for: aerospace interiors, hot water fittings,
and medical and dental devices that are
subjected to repeated steam sterilization
• Also used in food equipment exposed to
temperature extremes, such as coffeemakers
or freezer-to-microwave cookware

and high flow rates; often used to fill
extremely long parts with thin walls
• Best for: electronic connectors, sensors,
bullet-resistant vests, jet engine enclosures,
brake and transmission friction parts, and gaskets
• Amorphous structure
• High marks for thermal, mechanical,
and chemical properties
• Often selected for demanding applications requiring
ultra-high mechanical strength combined with high
temperature, corrosion and wear resistance
• Impact resistance may be lower than
that of PSUs and PAEKs
• Best for: aerospace interiors, automotive lighting,
medical devices, and electrical and fiber optic
connectors

TEMPERATURE AND MATERIAL TYPE
The two broad classifications of high-performance thermoplastics—amorphous and semi-crystalline—
have different temperature characteristics.
https://www.avient.com/news/avient-debuts-next-generation-cesa-nofog-plus-hot-and-cold-food-packaging
It can clear fogging immediately in hot conditions, and within 5 minutes in cold conditions.
Lids and protective films produced with this food contact-safe additive also remain clear, so that consumers can observe the food quality.
