They offer a more sustainable alternative than density-modified grades based on prime or virgin polymers. The new grade, Gravi-Tech REC GT5200-5089 C I natural, is based on up to 60% Social Plastic® polymer resin material from Plastic Bank, a social enterprise that collects and recycles ocean-bound plastic waste. They are a social enterprise based in Vancouver, Canada, empowering a Social Recycling movement.

Avient launches new Cesa™ Non-PFAS Process Aid for PE and PP extrusion applications at NPE 2024, enabling processing performance, productivity, and stability comparable to traditional fluoropolymer-based solutions. This processing aid, formulated without fluoropolymers, was developed specifically for use in polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) applications and enables processing performance comparable to traditional fluoropolymer-based solutions.   We are pleased to offer our customers non-PFAS solutions with performance characteristics similar to traditional fluoropolymer-based options to help them respond to evolving regulatory conditions and support their sustainability goals.”  

Avient expands the launch of its new Cesa™ Non-PFAS Process Aid for polyolefin extrusion and film formulations to Asia, enabling processability, productivity, and stability comparable to traditional fluoropolymer-based processing aids. Avient’s new Cesa Non-PFAS Process Aid delivers performance characteristics similar to traditional fluoropolymer-based options, reducing friction between the polymer and the metal, allowing the polymer to be more easily extruded. In addition, Cesa Non-PFAS Process Aid can deliver these performance benefits at the same dosage levels as traditional fluoropolymer-based additives while meeting Greater China GB 9685-2016, U.S.

COMPTEK™ High Temperature Formulations: Eighteen months ago, PolyOne acquired COMPTEK (Diez, Germany), a specialist in formulations based on extreme-heat polymeric materials such as PEEK, PES, PEI, PPS, PSU and PPSU. Properties that can be achieved with these materials include transparency, even for formulations based on polysulfone, electrical and/or thermal conductivity, laser marking, and X-ray opacity. FireCon™ CPE: based on chlorinated polyethylene (CPE), this flame-retardant material resists acids, alkalis, oils, fuels, chemical solvents, extreme temperatures, and weather.

We also offer a multitude of experience in manufacturing masterbatches suitable for compostability with the use of biodegradable and bio-based polymers.  Delivering protective performance with our polymer based solutions for industrial applications. From the Knowledge Base

This portfolio includes the recent addition of Mevopur bio-based polymer solutions, which are color and additive masterbatches based on bio-polyethylene resins that have up to 95 percent bio-based content.

It helps bring incompatible polymers, such as PP and PE, together by forming them into a homogenous polymer mixture that increases mechanical properties based on polymer modification (link to full press release above). The colored grades feature BASF’s Ultrason® polyarylethersulfones (PAES) as a high-quality base polymer combined with Avient’s Colorant Chromatics™ high-temperature color formulation expertise for color concentrates and pre-colored solutions. Sustainable Solutions Portfolio – Avient has a range of sustainable solutions that can help customers meet sustainability goals, including recycled and bio-based polymers, colorants for recycled materials, a color prediction service that helps increase the use of PCR content, and additives that can help to enhance the recycling process.

We also conduct 360 assessments to help individuals assess their individual development and progression based on feedback from key stakeholders. Avient hosts nomination-based leadership development programs, such as NextGen and Elevate, as well as CORE Leadership, an open-enrollment program for leaders of people globally.
