Novoloid fibers are composed of 76% carbon,
18% oxygen, & 6% hydrogen.
Novoloid can also be used a precursor to
carbon fiber.

Reducing Carbon Footprint
What is carbon footprint?
How does Avient help reduce carbon footprint?
This tool encourages investments in low-carbon & carbon-free technologies
while increasing the visibility of, and encouraging accountability for, the impact of carbon emissions on the
business.

In 2014,
it was spun off from Closure Systems International (CSI),
and currently produces over three billion aluminum
closures annually in 28 and 30 millimeter diameters
suitable for any type of still, carbonated or alcoholic
beverage packaged in glass, PET or aluminum bottles.
Maintaining a seal for carbonated water with high
internal pressure can be difficult and closurelogic caps
compression molded with GLS TPE liners are known to
have excellent pressure retention.

While PK and PA are both semi-
crystalline and contain an abundance of carbon and
oxygen, polyketone lacks the nitrogen present in
the amide bond of the nylon backbone.
In addition, PK can improve the sustainability of a
product through a lower carbon footprint because
the production of the resin emits up to 61 percent
less carbon dioxide (CO₂) than nylon.

Carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide and
methane) generated by individual actions.
How does Avient help reduce carbon footprint?
Furthermore, Avient has instituted an internal cost of carbon to encourage investments in low-carbon
and carbon-free technologies.
