These bio-derived and glass fiber-reinforced formulations utilize 16–47% natural filler from renewable plant sources, including corn, straw, and wheat. The Nymax BIO portfolio includes six grades that offer lower warpage plus excellent surface appearance and colorability compared with traditional PA66 glass fiber-filled materials. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Bio-polymers that reduce the carbon footprint value significantly • Achieves equivalent performance as PA66 glass fiber-filled materials • Excellent surface appearance and colorability • Lower warpage compared with PA66 glass fiber-filled materials • Cost-effective alternative to PA66 glass fiber-filled materials • Excellent dimensional stability and property retention rate after water uptake • Commercially available in Asia APPLICATIONS Nymax BIO formulations can be applied to reach sustainability goals in demanding applications including: • Transportation • Consumer goods • Industrial • Building and construction PRODUCT BULLETIN 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.

According to third-party life cycle analysis (LCA), there is a 61% reduction in CO₂ compared to PA66. In each case, the physical property retention of Avient’s PK-based formulations was superior to that of PA6 or PA66. Polyketone is naturally a burnt orange color and is known to be more challenging to color.

The PPA-based formulations offer decreased moisture absorption compared to nylon 66 (PA66), helping to improve durability and long- term performance. 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.

Providing stiffness, strength, and toughness, these new sustainable grades offer properties comparable to those of standard PA66 and TPU long fiber formulations using virgin resin. Formulations are available globally in black and natural color and in typical reinforcement percentages of long glass fiber, long carbon fiber, or hybrid combinations. Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility

Each year humans put more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than natural processes can remove, amplifying Earth’s natural greenhouse effect. Avient developed a technology suite that uses specialty engineered polyketone (PK) thermoplastics and helps our customers meet their goals to lower the carbon footprint of their products versus traditional materials, like PA66 and PA6.
