Homepage // News Center // Avient to Showcase High-Performing Polymer Colorants and Additives at Expo Plast Peru Avient will exhibit its portfolio of polymer colorants and additives at Expo Plast Peru from August 21 to 24, 2024. At Avient, our colorants and additives are developed to address material challenges at every stage of the development process, said Esperanza Laserna, General Sales Manager, LATAM Color, Additives, and Inks, at Avient.

New PTFE-free and non-halogen Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives can help producers of polycarbonate E&E applications prepare for possible future PFAS restrictions   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. Avient’s new flame-retardant additives are part of its comprehensive portfolio of color and additives solutions it is featuring at Fakuma 2023.

Our long fiber products are produced using a pultrusion process in which continuous tows of fiber are pulled through an impregnation die (to introduce polymer and additive solutions) and then chopped to length (typically 12mm) in a pelletizer.   In contrast, short fiber reinforced solutions are produced by introducing pre-chopped fibers (typically 1mm or less) into an extruder where the fibers are mixed with polymer and other additives.  In addition to a gain in toughness performance LFTs also boost stiffness and strength as well.

Cesa™ Fiber Additives Light Stabilizers for Synthetic Fibers and Nonwovens Non UV-stabilized fibers exposed to sunlight can suffer color fading and molecular changes that degrade their chemical and mechanical properties, leading to fraying and breakages. The Cesa™ Fiber Additives portfolio includes light-stabilizing and UV-absorbing concentrates for the spin-dyeing process. Additional solutions can be offered on request for other synthetic fibers such as PLA or TPU.

Cesa™ Fiber Additives Soft Touch Effect for Synthetic Fibers and Nonwovens PRODUCT BULLETIN Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation. The Cesa™ Fiber Additives portfolio includes soft touch concentrates that are incorporated during the spin-dyeing process. They are suitable for PP, PET, PA and PLA fibers.

Cesa™ Fiber Additives Chain Extenders for Recycled PET Fibers In an effort to contribute to the circular economy, the use of recycled content in textile products is growing. In addition, the recycled polyester needs to be suitable for spinning. The Cesa™ Fiber Additives portfolio includes chain extenders specially formulated to help recouple depolymerized polymer chains and support a more stable processing of recycled flakes into fibers.
