These compounds offer a combination of chemical inertness, high- temperature stability that supports sterilization processes, and excellent low-friction properties inherent in fluoropolymers.
Importantly, this solution is manufactured without intentionally added fluoropolymers, fluoroelastomers, or any other pre- and poly- fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), supporting customer’s sustainability goals and regulatory compliance by offering an alternative to intentionally added PFAS materials.
PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP At Avient we are focused on providing our customers with the highest levels of service and are dedicated to meeting their needs for regulatory support and global regulatory compliance.
