Polyester is a favored polymer to recycle and reprocess in different industries and this is also the case for the fiber industry. The Cesa™ Fiber Additives portfolio includes chain extenders specially formulated to help recouple depolymerized polymer chains and support a more stable processing of recycled flakes into fibers. They are added during polymer processing in the spin-dyeing process, thus eliminating the need for additional extrusion or polycondensation steps.

Smartbatch™ Fabric FX Color and Additives Enhance Perceived Value with Look of Fabric Smartbatch™ Fabric FX color and additive concentrates from Avient are a hassle-free means for manufacturers to turn plain, smooth polymer surfaces into those that mimic the soft appearance of textile. For manufacturers who currently bond textiles to polymer surfaces, this solution gives applications comparable aesthetics but at a significantly lower total cost, and without the logistics and processing hassles associated with bonding textiles to polymers.

These customizable color solutions enhance brand value and promote product differentiation for medical device, cosmetic, or pharmaceutical polymer applications. OnColor HC Plus Colorants have been tested across a wide range of medical polymers to provide added confidence in meeting these critical bio- compatibility standards. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Polymer colorants formulated specifically for healthcare product applications • Meets and exceeds various material performance requirements including FDA 21 CFR, ISO 10993 and USP Class VI • HC Plus colorants certified for bio-compatibility • Available as pre-color, concentrate, masterbatch or Smartbatch™ combined colorant/additive solution • Wide range of colors, striking special effects and custom color matching MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS OnColor™ HC and HC Plus Colorants are an excellent choice for medical devices and parts, pharmaceutical or cosmetic packaging, and many other healthcare related polymer applications.

Gravi-Tech™ Density-Modified Formulations High-Performance Alternative to Lead and Other Traditional Metals PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites offer a high-performance thermoplastic-based alternative to lead and other traditional dense metals. VALUE SOLUTION Improve safety and reduce costs with Gravi-Tech formulations When Gravi-Tech polymer metal composites are substituted for lead, manufacturers can avoid the regulatory, disposal and employee exposure challenges associated with lead. Several grades of Gravi-Tech composites used for radiation- shielding applications provide protections similar to traditional lead-based materials, yet these Gravi-Tech polymer-metal composites are 37 percent lighter.
