CESA™ Nox Additives Stabilization PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE Exposure to heat, shear and oxygen during processing causes the creation of free radicals from the polymer. These free radicals rapidly react with other polymer chains, propagating the degradation of the polymer and resulting in yellowing, black specks, loss of melt strength, and mechanical properties in most resins. CESA™ Nox additives target the free radicals, terminating the oxidation reactions and preserving the polymer properties through one or more processing steps or cycles, including recycling.

Examples include: • Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy • Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint • Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility Avient employs approximately 8,800 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.
