Robust performance that stands up to high heat.

Heat stability

This material has improved stiffness, as well as higher tensile and flexural modulus, so it’s a good choice for applications in which wear and short-term heat resistance are important.

This material offers durability levels far greater than those of acrylic, with a notched Izod impact strength of 18.4 ft-lb/in, and a heat deflection temperature of 185°F at 264 psi.

Edgetek™ Toughened PPA Formulations TECHNICAL BULLETIN The Edgetek™ Toughened PPA series consists of heat-stabilized, impact-modified polyphthalamide (PPA) formulations with low moisture absorption. These robust materials also incorporate heat stabilization to maintain tensile strength and tensile elongation properties for long- term thermal aging up to 120°C. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • High-temperature performance • Excellent impact resistance • Decreased moisture absorption compared to PA66 • Heat stabilized for long-term thermal aging • Enhanced chemical resistance • Customizable formulations in filled and unfilled grades MARKETS & APPLICATIONS The combined performance characteristics make Edgetek Toughened PPA ideal for a range of rigid engine applications.

Cesa™ Raise Heat Stability Modifier for APET Packaging Cesa™ Raise is a heat stability modifier specifically designed for amorphous polyethylene terephthalate (APET) thermoformed packaging. The technology addresses the limitations of traditional APET thermoformed cups and containers, which can only be used up to 60°C, by increasing its heat stability to up to 100°C. MARKETS & APPLICATIONS • Thermoformed, APET food packaging, including: - Hot steam sterilization - Hot fill - Microwave use • Polyester • Sheet extrusion & thermoforming KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Suitable for hot steam sterilization, hot fill, and microwave applications • Ideal for food-grade containers with high rigidity and improved gas barrier • Can withstand temperatures up to 100°C • Available in both transparent and opaque options • Processable on existing thermoforming lines with heated molds KEY BENEFITS • A fully circular monomaterial, up to 100% rPET polymer content • Promotion of the circularity of PET and the resulting packaging is possible • Helps customers to comply with the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) that demands recyclability of all packaging with binding PCR content targets by 2030 • Demonstrates improved productivity in comparison to CPET during thermoforming • Helps avoid possible EPR fees or penalties on difficult-to-recycle packaging PRODUCT BULLETIN Copyright © 2025, Avient Corporation.

AUTOMOTIVE OEM V E H I C L E L I G H T H E A T S I N K S • Replace aluminium to reduce part weight and cost • Excellent thermal performance • Simplify manufacturing process • Reduced part weight by 40% and 44% in two heat sink designs while matching the performance of the incumbent material • Met thermal efficiency demands through part re-design and material selection support • Customized multiple formulations to satisfy customer needs • Improved manufacturability by changing to a single injection molding step Therma-Tech™ Thermally Conductive Formulations KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

They are enhanced by the addition of heat or light stabilizers, color pigments, flame retardants, blowing agents, and other additives required for the intended product.

The specialized fillers used within Edgetek LD formulations not only lower the materials density but also improves tensile strength, heat distortion, scratch resistance and warpage. 

Aesthetic quality at point of sale and further energy gains downstream during multiple heat processes are all part of the package.
