Substance Abuse
It is up to all of us to take steps to ensure we work in an
environment free from all effects of alcohol as well as
illegal drugs and other controlled substances.
Avient prohibits associates from performing their jobs
under the influence of alcohol, illicit drugs and other
controlled substances.
Associates are encouraged to voluntarily seek
rehabilitation for substance abuse problems.

AGENTS
• Reduced part weights, saving material and costs
• Reduced cycle times
• Smoother surface
• Fine cell structure
• No discoloration or odor
• Suitable for standard machinery
• Flexibility in production
• Smaller machines, due to lower clamping forces
• Higher stiffness-to-weight ratio
• Elimination of warpage
• Elimination of sink marks
• Improved dimensional accuracy
• Improved flowability
• Improved thermal insulation
• Decreased sound transfer
• Creation of new effects
Chemical foaming agents are substances, which
get activated at typical thermoplastic polymer
processing temperatures, liberating gases such as
CO2 and/or N2.
Due to possible skin irritation it is
recommended to take precautionary measures when
handling such substances.

To validate the switch, Avient’s solution needed to
provide excellent chemical resistance to corrosive
substances during use, withstand frequent sanitation
procedures for long-term durability, and lower overall
costs for Bettcher.

This helps customers adhere to proposed
regulatory restrictions surrounding the use of
polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) of which PTFE
is classified as.
