Based on the raw materials used and manufacturing practices, these materials have a different product carbon footprint (PCF).
LSR will generally withstand high levels of exposure to cleaning and disinfecting chemicals, but is susceptible to attacks by concentrated solvents (gasoline, mineral spirits) and acids (sulfuric acid, carbonic acid, citric acid found in car batteries, sodas and juices).¹

As the world continues to shift from operating in a linear economy to a circular economy and to a lower
carbon footprint, Avient is proud to be a part of the solution.

provides oversight of the systems that are in place to monitor and mitigate our carbon footprint and
potential risks associated with climate change.
