Traditionally, process aids for extrusion often contain fluoropolymers which may be classifiable as per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS), a group of chemicals widely used in various products to impart properties such as resistance to heat, oil, stain, and water. Our new Cesa processing aid helps to improve productivity and process stability for film or sheet extrusion, pipe extrusion, or extrusion blow molding,” said Mayendran Pillay, Marketing Director, Color & Additives North America at Avient.

Homepage // News Center // Advanced Edgetek™ Chemically Resistant Materials from Avient Protect Against ‘New Normal’ Disinfection The new Edgetek™ ET8900 CR series formulations feature outstanding chemical and crack resistance to common consumer disinfectants versus conventional alternative polymers such as PC/ABS, PC/PET, and PC/PBT. Formulations were tested using an adapted ASTM D543 method for environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR).

This value describes how well the elastomer resists tearing. Although both properties reflect how the product feels in the customer's hands, flexural modulus measures the resistance to bending, while hardness measures the resistance to indentation. Additionally, in applications with tight tolerances, unexpected shrinkage may affect the fit of a part in an assembly.
