Available as a granular masterbatch for injection molding, thermoforming or extrusion, these new additives offer superior performance for most clear polymers, including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polystyrene (PS).

Avient’s Cesa™ Stat Antistatic Additives for automotive applications are permanent masterbatches that provide an antistatic effect to molded parts.

For converters manufacturing bottles for oxygen sensitive beverages such as juices or teas and sauces, Amosorb 4020R is a unique masterbatch solution offering a reliable, cost effective oxygen scavenging performance, while giving freedom of usage for many different grades of rPET up to 100% in content.

They also can be combined with specific colorants into a single, customized masterbatch.

Q11: Carbon Black and Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) show up as carcinogenic hazards on some of our SDSs, and not on others. In other cases, PolyOne has been advised by the suppliers of certain raw materials (carbon black and titanium dioxide are two prime examples) that the classification of their materials as IARC category 2B carcinogens are based on certain studies involving rats, and due to a toxicological phenomenon known as “rat lung overload,” carcinogenicity seen in such rats is not believed to be extended to humans.

Polyone and Clariant Masterbatch combined in 2020 to form Avient. Our Continuous Improvement program contains several LSS courses including multiple certification levels through Master Black Belt.
