Delivering comparable processing performance to traditional processing aids, Avient’s Cesa Non-PFAS Process Aid reduces friction between the polymer and the metal, allowing the polymer to be more easily extruded.

Similar to prime density modified grades, these new materials can be extruded, molded, calendered, or thermoformed into complex designs without expensive tooling.

Avient’s new Cesa Non-PFAS Process Aid delivers performance characteristics similar to traditional fluoropolymer-based options, reducing friction between the polymer and the metal, allowing the polymer to be more easily extruded.
