FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany – October 15, 2024 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable materials solutions and services, today announced the extension of its reSound™ REC Recycled Content Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) portfolio with new, globally produced, GP 7820 grades for the Fakuma International Trade Fair for Plastics Processing, held today through October 19, 2024. Avient will be showcasing these new materials at Fakuma, the world’s leading trade fair for plastic processing, in Friedrichshafen, Germany, from October 15-19, 2024. Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

This much-anticipated launch will debut at the upcoming International Trade Fair for Plastics Processing, Fakuma 2023. This is particularly advantageous for producers seeking more flexibility in managing plastic material inventory, giving them the ability to stockpile large quantities of virgin or recycled resin while ordering flame-retardant concentrates as needed for individual projects.   Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

Fluoropolymers are a family of exceptional, high-performance materials that are widely used today – and for good reason, since they are stable plastics that resist degradation under harsh conditions and are inherently flame retardant. 2 Sina Ebnesajjad, “Introduction to Fluoropolymers,” Applied Plastics Engineering Handbook (Elsevier, 2011) pp 49-60.   3 The Fluoropolymers Division of the Society of the Plastics Industry, Guide to the Safe Handling of Fluoropolymer Resins–Fourth Edition (2005).

These specialty thermoplastic elastomers have imbedded, EPA-registered antimicrobial additives to inhibit bacterial growth by 99.9% or more and resist fungal growth in finished plastic parts. GLS™ TPEs with imbedded antimicrobial additives that inhibit bacterial growth by 99.9% or more and resist fungal growth to protect finished plastic parts Cesa™ WithStand™ Antimicrobial Additives give your plastic products an added layer of defense against microorganisms such as bacteria, mold, and fungi.

Cesa™ Laser Additives allow manufacturers to optimize the use of laser technology to create markings or assemble plastic parts.   Laser marking can be used to create unique product codes (UPC) and branding or decorative patterns on different plastics, effectively replacing labels. Supports optimal use of laser technology for marking or welding plastic parts
