Avient announces expansion to Cesa™ functional additives and NEUSoft™ TPU portfolios and will highlight its innovative material solutions for healthcare at MD&M West 2025 NEW – Cesa Non-PFAS Low-Retention Additives are newly introduced and will be available soon. We harness the collective strength of 9,000 employees worldwide to collaborate and build on each other’s ideas.

Cesa™ Fiber Additives Soft Touch Effect for Synthetic Fibers and Nonwovens PRODUCT BULLETIN Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation. The Cesa™ Fiber Additives portfolio includes soft touch concentrates that are incorporated during the spin-dyeing process.

Cesa™ Fiber Additives Hydrophobic Solutions for PP Nonwovens Polypropylene nonwovens are used for a variety of applications, some of which require water repellency. The Cesa™ Fiber Additives portfolio includes hydrophobic solutions for polypropylene nonwovens that provide immediate and long-lasting water repellency.

After developing a deep understanding of the customer’s needs, Avient’s team quickly went to work to formulate a custom OnColor™ color and then added Cesa™ WithStand™ antimicrobial technology to make a single Smartbatch™ masterbatch that passed all of the product’s challenging requirements. This combined additive and color technology not only solved the color harmony challenge across all polymers used in the various components of the personal care device, but also accelerated testing because the Cesa WithStand antimicrobial material used had been pre-tested for polymeric integrity.

Options for non-per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (Non-PFAS) and non-halogenated additives in packaging, healthcare, consumer goods, and various industrial materials such as Cesa™ Non-PFAS Process Aids for polyolefins film and pipette tips and non-halogenated Cesa™ Flame Retardants Additives for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber applications Cesa™ Fiber Additives for Cool & Warm Feeling – Offer Comfort & Efficiency for Sports Clothes (April 16, 14:50–15:10, Hall 20, Booth L61). We harness the collective strength of more than 9,000 employees worldwide to collaborate and build on each other’s ideas.

Whether in solid or liquid form, our fiber concentrates are developed for use in the more sustainable process of spin-dyeing, or dope-dyeing, which requires no water and less energy than other dyeing methods. Renol™ & Remafin™ Fiber Colorants Black & White STANDARD AND CUSTOM BLACK CONCENTRATES • High pigment concentrations for high tinting strength • Lower concentrations to meet specific customer needs • Tailored for special requirements, with specific physical/rheological properties STANDARD AND CUSTOM WHITE CONCENTRATES • TiO2 based with excellent opacifying or tinting strength • Optical white to improve the surface whiteness and/or brighteness of end articles • Regulatory compliance support Product characteristics • Optimal melt flow properties allow a good mixture with the polymer matrix yielding the best possible spinnability • Full pigment dispersion ensures maximum CPF/Spinning pack life • Carriers: PET, PBT, PA 6, PA 66, PP, and others Applications • Continuous filament spinning, including fine denier (POY, FDY, HOY, bi-component yarns) • Long and short spinning staple fiber • Spunbond SINGLE PIGMENT DISPERSIONS (SPDS) We have extensive experience in using advanced technologies and special raw materials, which make our SPDs suitable for more demanding applications. Product range • Flame retardants to reduce flammability of fibers and fabrics especially in building and construction applications • Light stabilizers to protect fibers used outdoors or exposed to sunlight against UV light • Antimicrobials to protect hygienic fiber products from bacteria proliferation • Antistatics to reduce electrostatic charges • Antioxidants to reduce polymer oxidation during spinning and protect fabrics during service life • Optical brighteners to provide a brilliant white effect and blueish hue • Electrets to retain electrostatic charge on the polymer surface for a longer period of time in filtration applications • Hydrophobics to impart durable water repellency • Chain extenders for recycled polyester fibers • Others on request Product characteristics • Good spinnability • Fiber-specific QC and protocols • Lot-to-lot consistency • Carriers: PET, PBT, PA 6, PP, and others • Possibility to combine colors and additives into a combination concentrate for convenience • Product guidance from our fiber expert team • Focus on safe and sustainable formulations Applications • Continuous filaments (POY, FDY, HOY, BCF) • Long and short spinning staple fiber • Nonwoven processes (spunbond and meltblown) Cesa™ Fiber Additives MagIQ™ Liquid Fiber Colorants & Additives Multiple color production • Depending on the manufacturing set-up, several injection points can be added to enable multiple color production at the same time on a single extruder Batch size flexibility • Fiber producers can manufacture anything from a few kilograms to hundreds of tons using the same simple process Rapid color changes • No extruder contamination and easy color-on, color-off operation increases color change speed Waste reduction • Rapid color changes, precise metering and the ability to adjust color in-line reduces waste during color changeovers Continuous metering & long spin pack life • High pigment and dye concentrations mean fewer pack changes are required • Where color is running low for larger volume runs, low level metering sensors alert operators and packs can be changed without disrupting production In-line IV adjustment • Specialist additives are available to adjust Intrinsic Viscosity (IV) in-line for rPET applications • These additives are available as single products, or can be combined with color to create a multi- functional formulation Color design service • Avient offers a dedicated color design service to help shorten product development cycles and enhance market agility Liquid color processing • Formulations are stable at temperatures up to 60°C and retain good flow properties at temperatures as low as 10°C • These formulations can help lower yarn friction and abrasion, and there is no fuming or evaporation during production Avient’s liquid fiber colorant technology combines advanced liquid color formulations with state-of-the-art, high-pressure metering equipment to enable late-stage injection of liquid color for spun-dyed polymer melt.
