GUIDELINES FOR USING CESA CLEAN ADDITIVES • Cesa Clean works best when molded maintaining normal (injection) pressure/shear • For best results, Avient recommends a “Running Color Change” which eliminates breaks in the molding cycle • Since the Cesa Clean concentrate will expand, it is recommended to reduce the shot size by 20% • It is designed for use at a let-down ratio (LDR) of 3.0% or (33:1); however, use rate can vary depending on the severity of the contamination but typically is 2.0–4.0% (a use rate higher than 6.0% may not have any positive affect on the cleaning performance) • Using Cesa Clean as a routine part of your color change rotation will allow faster changes and consume a minimal amount of raw material - Note: If the manifold is not cleaned routinely, this process may be more time consuming and additional material will be required • It is best to process at your normal polymer processing temperatures - For best performance, stock temperature should be at least 400°F - If 400°F is achieved during the purging process, no additional activation will occur during the reprocessing of regrind - All parts produced during the “Running Purge Cycle” should be captured as regrind, resulting in a scrap-free color change - If using sequential gates, open and close all gates at the same time while purging the tool - If contamination appears to be coming from one gate, open and close first, and for an extended period of time, to force more material through this location - When cleaning in this manner, pay close attention to shot size - Parts containing the previous or new color plus any Cesa Clean can be used as regrind INTRODUCING CESA CLEAN TO YOUR PROCESS Hand Blend • Hand weigh enough of the Cesa Clean and natural resin mix to equate to 3–5 times the barrel capacity • Use rate should be 3.0% or 33:1 for routine cleaning • For difficult-to-clean tooling, or tooling which is not routinely cleaned, start at 4.0% or 25:1 • Note: Do not attempt to vacuum load more than 15 feet from source as stratification/separation may occur Volumetric Feeder • Calibrate feeder to dispense 3.0% or 33:1 for routine cleaning • For difficult-to-clean tooling, or tooling which is not routinely cleaned, start at 4.0% or 25:1 • This style of feeder is highly recommended for at-the-throat metering of Cesa Clean Blending Units Most blenders have an extra bin for an additive • Fill the additive bin with Cesa Clean • Set blender to introduce the Cesa Clean at 2.0 to 4.0% • Note: Do not air convey any further than 15 feet as Cesa Clean has a high density and may separate from the mix.

Liquid Color Concentrates and Dosing Discover Avient's portfolio of flame retardant engineered materials available in a range of polymers Liquid Color Concentrates

Static mixing nozzles have been used to improve color dispersion for concentrates with a high letdown ratio. To improve mixing when using color concentrates, set the transition zone temperatures above the melt temperature of the concentrate. Change the color concentrate carrier to a material with a lower melt temperature.

Using Polymers for ADAS Housings Avient Long Fiber Technology Provided a custom concentrate material for flexibility in tailoring static dissipation performance

The new fiber colorant technology combines ColorMatrix liquid concentrates and proprietary high-pressure metering equipment to enable late-stage color injection during melt extrusion spin coloring.
