Homepage // News Center // Avient Unveils PTFE-Free and Non-Halogen Flame Retardants for Polycarbonate at Fakuma 2023 The resin inherently offers heat resistance, but for some demanding applications, it also needs the addition of flame retardants to increase its resistance to flammability. Avient’s new Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives for polycarbonate are formulated without PTFE, which is typically used as an anti-drip agent in conventional flame-retardant polycarbonate.

polycarbonate, ABS, POM, PBT). Now that resin producers are offering bio-based polyolefins and other polymers pre-tested to healthcare standards, the healthcare industry can start switching to bio-based polymers and bio-based polymer solutions to help reduce the carbon footprint and increase the sustainability of their plastic parts. These color and additive solutions are available as concentrates or ready-to-use pre-colored formulations in bio-based polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, styrenic resins and ABS.

For all HB references, the color concentrates are listed with reference to resin chemistry, which enables total flexibility of choice for the resin grade. For V-0, V-1, V-2, 5VA and 5VB, the color concentrates have to be listed with reference to specific resin grades. If the required resin is not listed under Avient concentrates, please contact an Avient representative to discuss more options.

Launching today are reSound R VX TPEs, reSound R ND polyamides, and reSound R PC polycarbonates. These nylon formulations contain 100 percent PCR resin, and are available in both PA6 and PA66 grades with various levels of glass fiber and mineral reinforcements. Recycled-content polycarbonates For the Asia market, Avient now offers reSound R PC, a range of polycarbonates with glass filler levels from 10 to 30 percent and recycled content ranging from 25 to 75 percent.

Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives PTFE-free and Non-halogen for Polycarbonate Polycarbonate is a material of choice for E&E products as it provides very good impact strength, dimensional stability, and heat resistance.Some applications require the use of flame-retardant solutions to increase safety and ensure compliance with fire hazard standards. Avient’s PTFE-free and non-halogen Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives for polycarbonate are formulated without PTFE and are non-halogen in accordance with the IEC 61249-2-21 standard. They also offer the ability for producers seeking more flexibility in managing plastic material inventory to store large quantities of virgin or recycled resin and order flame-retardant concentrates as needed for individual projects.

Provides Visual Clarity for PC Resins Better color dispersion in transparent PC resin compared to pigments helping to retain transparent properties Cutting-edge liquid toner for polycarbonate resins that provides visual clarity for PC and improves aesthetics on the product surface

Cesa™ WithStand™ SX Low Haze Antimicrobial Additives PRODUCT BULLETIN Cesa™ WithStand™ SX Low Haze Antimicrobial Additives counteract bacteria, fungi, and microbes to enhance the performance of clear polycarbonate or plexiglass applications that require visual clarity. The patented formula of Cesa WithStand SX is especially suited for those products that use recycled resin, as it will not cause opacity or hazing as traditional antimicrobials often do. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Patented next-gen formulation that can preserve visual clarity and aesthetics in applications using recycled content • Reduces bacterial, mold, and fungal growth on the surface and through the thickness of the plastic part • Helps reduce odor, staining, discoloration, and loss of mechanical properties • Available for various processes including extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, rotational molding, and thermoforming MARKETS & APPLICATIONS These antimicrobial additives are well-suited for clear polycarbonate or plexiglass applications using recycled resin including: • Electronics • Packaging • Consumer goods • Protective shields and sneeze guards • Plexiglass windows or panels • Clear phone or tablet cases • Modular office construction • Point-of-purchase screens • Touchscreen information kiosks • Transportation infotainment screens 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2025, Avient Corporation.
