PRODUCT BULLETIN
Cesa™ Nox A4R Additives for Recycling
Polyolefin Antioxidant for Enhanced Recycling
RECYCLED MATERIAL IN
A CHANGING MARKET
Legislation globally is driving change towards
increased quantities of post-consumer recycled
materials (PCR), further encouraged by the
implementation of usage targets and new tariffs.
DESIGN FOR RECYCLING
Cesa™ Nox A4R is designed for recycling.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-09/cai-healthcare-application-bulletin.pdf
Consistency and reliability in those materials are
imperative for components designed to heal or even save lives.
We provide total support from design through
production, including navigation of a complex regulatory environment, delivering solutions that let you get your
products to market faster and with greater confidence.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Product engineers and designers face the ongoing
challenge of optimising both design and material
selection to deliver parts for high-performing
applications.
This greatly improves solution resolution and provides
a guide for optimising the plastic component and mold
tooling design,” said Brad Davison, the North America
Director of Technology for Specialty Engineered Materials
at Avient.
If the simulation
fails, parameters can be modified – enter a new material,
modify the design, augment manufacturing, etc. – to yield
the desired results.

• Inconsistent base color of recycled materials
• Lightest color recycled material in high demand for all applications ($$)
• Even with clear/transparent materials, color degrades over repeated processing
Our Solutions
• OpticaTM Toners and Super-concentrated colorants to
reduce and mask recycled material discoloration
• SmartHeatTM reduces heat history to minimize yellowing
• Color Simulation Tool to assist with color space design

1: Color Management
Recycled Material Restricts Color Options
With virgin material, we
can design across a broad
color spectrum
The darker the recycled
materials, the more color
design freedom is restricted
This bright yellow
is not achievable
with high
concentrations of
dark recycled
materials
Avient can provide customer guidance on maximum recycle
content possible and color concentration required to achieve
desired color

2: Decontamination
Recycled material feedstocks are contaminated
• Feedstock variability supplies the recycle process
• Insufficient washing at recycler
• Residual labels and printing inks cause quality and NIAS issues
• Unpleasant recycled material odor (in processing and the final application)
• Clean, food grade, recycled material availability in high demand
• Reliable decontamination to reduce NIAS concerns
• Full odor removal
Our Solutions
• CESATM Laser Marking to eliminate contaminating printing inks,
labels and glue
• AAzureTM process aids and scavengers to enable food and
beverage taste purity in PET packaging
• ProsureTM range of formulations to enable NIAS compliance and
security (customer peace of mind)
CHALLENGES
NIAS = Non Intentionally Added Substances

3: Maintaining Mechanical Properties
• Mechanical properties of recycled materials degrade after multiple heat cycles
• Today's recycling protocols only focus on one recycle loop…in reality, there
will be several
• Legislation and brand owners are targeting higher recycled material ratio
incorporation and full circularity
• Polymer quality stability over multiple loops to deliver circular recyclability
• Stress cracking of recycled bottles
• Upgrading performance of lower quality recycled materials
• Specification and guided selection amongst highly variable recycled materials
Our Solutions
• CESATM antioxidants and process aids to enhance
physical properties
• SmartHeatTM reduces heat history to minimize yellowing
• rePrize™ for PET polymer chain repair and extension

Multi-material packaging is harder to recycle
• Contamination of polymer streams
• Issues in sorting
• Issues in separation
• Trend is to restrict multi-material systems in favor of mono-material constructions
• Improve recyclability of PET gas barriers
• Barrier system development for Polyolefins
• Recyclable barrier systems for film and sheet
Our Solutions
• Portfolio of compatibilizers to enable multilayer constructions
• AmosorbTM to extend beverage shelf life by scavenging
oxygen through the bottle wall
• CaptureTM to extend product shelf life through oxygen
scavenging but without contaminating the bottle
• Lactra SX TM to prevent light-induced oxidation in liquid dairy
products stored at higher temperatures

Brand Owners require a consistent brand identity
• Inconsistent quality streams pose a challenge to delivering homogeneous product
quality and aesthetics to the consumer
• Brands demand recycled content, but with color/property consistency
• Recyclers are challenged to fulfill needs from brand owners and convertors
• Specification and selection of recycled material grades for targeted applications
• Simulation of recycled material performance in the end-use application
• Leverage re-formulation expertise to provide a consistent packaging product (color and
mechanical properties)
Our Solutions
Our Service and Color Expertise differentiate Avient and allow
us to support customers throughout the entire design process
• Design for use: Color matching, Color design options
• Recycle lot selection
