This processing aid, formulated without fluoropolymers, was developed specifically for use in polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) applications and enables processing performance comparable to traditional fluoropolymer-based solutions.   Delivering comparable processing performance to traditional processing aids, Avient’s Cesa Non-PFAS Process Aid reduces friction between the polymer and the metal, allowing the polymer to be more easily extruded.

has been transformational to our portfolio and helped us become the specialty formulator we are today.  Specialty Engineered Materials Specialty Engineered Materials
