CESA™ Nox Additives Stabilization PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE Exposure to heat, shear and oxygen during processing causes the creation of free radicals from the polymer. These free radicals rapidly react with other polymer chains, propagating the degradation of the polymer and resulting in yellowing, black specks, loss of melt strength, and mechanical properties in most resins. CESA™ Nox additives target the free radicals, terminating the oxidation reactions and preserving the polymer properties through one or more processing steps or cycles, including recycling.

Avient also will be exhibiting the expanded launch of PTFE-Free LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations to Asia. Versaflex™ TF Adhesive TPE for Textile Fabrics: a cost-effective alternative to TPU adhesive films and traditional glues, free of plasticizers, with low VOC content, OEKO-TEX 100-2 compliance, and excellent washability up to 60°C, combining strong and seamless adhesion to polyester and nylon fabrics with outstanding elastic recovery for high wearing comfort in target applications such as functional sports attire, fitness apparel, and underwear
