PX-30034-B (9471-2) BLACK AIR FILTER

Supply chain security: The supply for PVC dispersion resin can be volatile and, when supply gets tight, smaller plastisol producers are often affected the most. And, speaking of dust, to keep workers safe, you’ll need to have a proper air filtration system and/or protective equipment. Scrap disposal: Be sure to consider the cost of scrap plastisol disposal.

SHANGHAI – December 9, 2021 – Avient today unveiled new additives for high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters that offer exceptional and consistent filtration performance to meet the requirements of the HEPA H13 standard. HEPA filters remove dust, pollen, mold, and bacteria from the air. At a time when we are all conscious about air quality and purity to protect our health, there is a growing demand for filters with superior performance,” said Say-Eng Lee, Vice President and General Manager of Color & Additives Asia at Avient.

Supply chain security: The supply for PVC dispersion resin can be volatile and, when supply gets tight, smaller plastisol producers are often affected the most. And, speaking of dust, to keep workers safe, you’ll need to have a proper air filtration system and/or protective equipment. Scrap disposal: Be sure to consider the cost of scrap plastisol disposal.

Unless you have a proper air filtration system and/ or protective equipment, it can be inhaled by anyone in the plant, which can potentially create health concerns. If you are producing 1 million pounds of plastisol annually, you are also losing 1,300 pounds of resin into the air. PROGRAM BULLETIN HOW AVIENT CAN HELP SUPPLY CHAIN INTEGRITY The supply for PVC dispersion resin can be volatile.

Storage and Handling of Vinyl Plastisols A vinyl plastisol is a liquid dispersion of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resins, plasticizers, and miscellaneous additives. Decreased plastisol temperatures will result in higher plastisol viscosities. Stirring should be done gently so as not to introduce air or heat into the plastisol, but forceful enough to re-disperse any settled material on the bottom.
