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.
Polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE), which is classed as a per- and
polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), is often used as
an anti-drip agent.
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.

LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations –
PTFE-free Solutions
LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations are
self-lubricating polymers, offering low coefficients
of friction (COF) and improved wear-resistance
properties for molded parts.
Extending the existing portfolio, PTFE-free
LubriOne Internally Lubricated Formulations
are made without polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE).
This helps customers adhere to proposed
regulatory restrictions surrounding the use of
polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) of which PTFE
is classified as.

But for a global medical device manufacturer time had stood still for a key component in one of its products.
When the company decided to redesign this critical valve insert for one of its medical pumps, the project was beset with problems.
The decision to redesign the valve insert paid off in multiple ways for the medical device manufacturer, generating a total annual savings of more than $175,000 a year.
