Avient does currently use a small amount of fluoropolymers and PFAS containing additives as raw materials
which represent less than 3% of our global product portfolio.
You can expect that the materials we produce
contain only ingredients that conform to
accepted legal and regulatory compliance
guidelines
When a loss of containment is discovered, loose pellets are
promptly contained and cleaned up.
