VALUE SOLUTION Colorful polymer packaging is widely used in the beverage and personal care sectors to make products stand out on shelves. This new color and special effects option helps polymer packaging do just that. The process is easy to implement with traditional packaging polymers using standard stretch blow molding machinery.

Cesa™ Fiber Tracer Concentrates are polymer solutions that include a taggant, unique to the customer/product line, which is incorporated into the fibers during the spin-dyeing process. Fiber producers can also add the tracer concentate to shredded waste polyester and polyamide, and convert them together into polymer pellets. KEY BENEFITS • Unique and personalized tracer for customer/ product lines • Suitable for polyester and polyamide (nylon), including recycled grades; possibility to develop solutions for bio-polymers • No impact on spinnability, color or yarn properties • Can be combined with color into a single product for convenience • Complies with key regulatory requirements by EN, DIN, UNI and others • Supplied with a testing service package Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.

They can be used in the extrusion of polyethylene or polypropylene to reduce the friction between the molten polymer and metal, enabling the polymers to be extruded without melt fracture. There is no drop-in, one-size-fits-all replacement for PFAS solutions. Processors are looking to replace current process additives containing PFAS with non-PFAS fluorine-free solutions that exhibit performance characteristics similar to traditional fluoropolymer- based solutions.

Cesa™ Laser Marking Additives Cesa™ Laser Marking additive technology gives manufacturers a new level of control in laser marking polymers with speed and clarity. It also eliminates the need for labels, making it a more sustainable solution. Avient has experience formulating Cesa Laser Marking solutions that can work within a wide variety of polymers and processes, including injection molding, blow molding and extrusion.

From lightweighting to renewable energy applications to improved recyclability, Avient has a robust portfolio of sustainable solutions. At Avient, we are committed to helping you grow your business with safe and environmentally sound solutions.
