In addition to its electrical conductivity, Stat-Tech TPEs offer benefits compared to silicone and thermoset rubber, including simplified manufacturing due to single-step fabrication, more design freedom for complex geometries, and 2-component overmolding directly onto polymer substrates, reducing processing steps. Avient’s new LubriOne Internally Lubricated Formulations made without PTFE are available across multiple polymer systems with comparable performance capabilities to conventional internally lubricated grades.

NYLON SOLUTIONS ENGINEERED THERMOPLASTICS PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE Nylon (polyamide - PA) solutions from Avient include both prime Nymax™/Bergamid™ Polymer Formulations and Nymax™ REC Recycled Nylon Formulations. Based on nylon 6 (PA6) and nylon 66 (PA66) polymers, these materials combine high temperature performance with exceptional strength and durability. NYMAX/BERGAMID PRIME NYLON GRADES The Nymax/Bergamid series of PA6 and PA66 polymers are designed to meet critical performance requirements for demanding applications.

CESA™ Light Additives Light Stability PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE Exposure to the sun, heat, and oxygen through outdoor exposure causes the degradation of the polymer, resulting in yellowing, loss of melt strength, and loss of mechanical properties in most resins. One method is through the use of stabilizers that react with radicals created from UV exposure, inhibiting polymer degradation. Many CESA Light products include CESA Nox additives, which also aids in polymer protection. 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.
