Homepage // News Center // Avient's New Edgetek™ Materials Optimize Weld Strength, Flame Retardance and Aesthetics for Laser Welded Applications Besides laser weldable performance, this new series is also formulated with excellent flame retardance, high impact performance, and high-flow characteristics to satisfy unique needs in multiple applications. In general, flame retardants and colorants often impede the energy needed to melt the polymer during joining, possibly reducing weld strength.

Avient’s portfolio delivers flame retardance, low smoke and halogen options, and materials that can withstand wide temperature variations for telecommunication applications.

Whether your needs include flame retardance, low smoke & halogen options, anti-rodent and anti-termite additives, or materials that can withstand wide temperature variations, you can deliver with our comprehensive and customizable polymer solutions.

Additionally, some countries have stringent local fire safety standards for arena and stadium seating, which call for plastics with improved flame retardancy properties, achieved with flame retardant additives. Our Cesa™ additive solutions include UV stabilizers, UV stabilizer/color combination products, and UV stabilizer/flame retardant/color combination products when flame retardancy is needed. UV STABILIZER/COLOR COMBINATIONS • Combines color and UV stabilization for use in PP and PA • Ingredients screened with accelerated weather testing* • Excellent weather resistance properties (against chalking, embrittlement) • Long-term colorfastness and light stability UV STABILIZER/FLAME RETARDANT/ COLOR COMBINATIONS • Combines low halogen flame retardants, UV stabilizers and color for use in PP and PA • Ingredients screened with accelerated weather testing* • Excellent weather resistance properties (against chalking, embrittlement) • Compliant with local fire standards (e.g.: AFNOR M 2 in France, DIN 4102 B 2–B 1 in Germany, UNI 8457–9174 C 1 in Italy, BKZ 5.2 in Switzerland, BS 5852.1990 CRIB 3–5 in UK)** • Standard portfolio available for PP injection molded applications APPLICATION BULLETIN * Laboratory weathering testing may not be determinative of all conditions of use; the end user must determine suitability of a product for its intended use ** Contact us for more information on regulatory compliance Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.
