Striving for optimal results, the manufacturer evaluated more than 30 different materials.    The Avient material met the targeted cost and performance targets Avient’s solution was a unique, nylon-based material that met the all of the application’s performance requirements.

Add a material that’s soft to the touch, colorable and durable. Because they are readily colorable, these materials reduce scrap due to off-spec or inconsistent color. The resulting TPE material met this requirement and shortened cycle times.

These are in addition to bio-based polyolefin materials that Avient introduced in 2021. Along with pre-colored formulations for users who prefer ready-to-use solutions, they are more sustainable drop-in replacements for fossil-based materials. These bio-based materials can be processed on standard injection-molding machines and extruders and can be recycled in the same recycling channels as conventional fossil-based polymers.

With more post-consumer recycled materials (PCR) entering the value chain, brand owners, recyclers, and converters are faced with new and increasing challenges related to recycling. When added to the recycled mixed polymers, Cesa Unify A4R addresses the common material degradation that occurs during the recycling process. It accomplishes this by increasing stiffness and mechanical strength, thereby bringing the material's properties closer to those of the virgin polymer.

PARIS – October 13, 2021 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable material solutions and services, today announced two additions to its MEVOPUR™ line of medical-grade materials to help producers of pharmaceutical packaging and medical devices more easily reach sustainability goals. Using MEVOPUR medical grade materials can help manufacturers of medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging reduce the risk of regulatory non-compliance. Benefits include light weighting, material savings (and therefore reduced consumption of non-renewable resources), faster cycling, and process-energy savings. 

Cesa A4R stabilizes recycled polyolefins during processing, protecting the material against degradation during initial and future conversion steps. Suitable for high-value polyolefin applications with recycled material content

Electret charging works by improving the crystallinity and mechanical deformation of a material, to prevent electret charge from drifting. By introducing additives with charge storage properties, “charge traps” are created which capture the electret charge that is applied to the meltblown nonwoven material.

The technology also helps maintain stiffness and mechanical strength during recycling, ensuring material properties close to that of the virgin polymer’s starting point, thereby improving impact strength and ductility.   Improves mechanical strength and stiffness by maintaining material properties close to virgin polymer
