They provide durable and efficient stain release properties to polyester fibers making it easier to remove stains with common household cleaners. APPLICATIONS Cesa stain-resistant solutions are suitable for polyester fibers used in automotive textiles, home and office furnishings, and carpets and rugs.

PET Polyester Fiber

The Edgetek™ portfolio consists of a broad range of specialty thermoplastics using a spectrum of engineering resins. Flame-retardant formulations, offering UL certification and compliance while maintaining the performance of the base engineering resin General and customizable formulations based on amorphous to crystalline resins for use a wide range of industries and applications

Phthalate-free dispersions of PVC resins. Liquid at room temperature, these customized resins can also be toll blended for any application

These dry blends of suspension PVC resins are plasticized for flexibility. CORE™ Vinyl Powder Coatings are dry blends of suspension PVC resins that are plasticized for flexibility

Formulations are available with specialty base resins from several major manufacturers or suppliers. Learn about high-performance thermoplastics that surpass commodity and engineering resins

Color formulations can be supplied using a variety of specialty base resins from several major manufacturers and suppliers. Learn about high-performance thermoplastics that surpass commodity and engineering resins

Resin technologies utilized in these formulations include a breadth of options including a variety of polyamides, rigid thermoplastic polyurethanes and specialty resin solutions (such as PES, PEI, PEEK).    Complēt long fiber solutions have a significant jump in mechanical properties when compared to an unreinforced resin or a short fiber reinforced resin – most notably in toughness.  Recycled resin content customizable to meet performance and sustainability requirements

Our extensive portfolio of specialty colorants helps producers of synthetic fibers and nonwovens achieve brilliant colors and optimal dyeing of polyester, polypropylene and polyamide fibers. 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 • 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.

Focusing simultaneously on aesthetics, functionality, color efficiency and project coordination, ColorWorks helps you heighten shelf impact, differentiate your brands, control costs and time-to-market, and manage color across multiple resins. Maintaining color consistency across multiple resins sourced from different suppliers in countries around the world is a complex task that requires color-management knowledge and global resources.
