This can make it difficult to trace a
garment or other type of fabric product back to the
fiber manufacturer and brand owner.
Cesa™ Fiber
Tracer Concentrates are polymer solutions that
include a taggant, unique to the customer/product
line, which is incorporated into the fibers during the
spin-dyeing process.
Cesa Fiber Tracer Concentrates
contain no hazardous raw materials and comply
with key fiber regulations.

SUSTAINABILITY
Reducing carbon footprint in the way that a colorant is
formulated and processed has become an increasing
priority for plastics processors.
Manufacturers operating lean manufacturing
systems can also benefit by driving down inventory
requirements even further
• Avient’s advanced liquid systems can be run at lower
temperatures whilst maintaining stability allowing
important energy cost and carbon footprint savings to
be made

Examples include:
• Unique technologies that improve the
recyclability of products and enable recycled
content to be incorporated, thus advancing a
more circular economy
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier
traditional materials like metal, glass and wood,
which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of
transportation and reduce carbon footprint
• Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase
energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural
resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G
