CLEVELAND – December 9, 2024 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialty and sustainable materials solutions and services, announces the addition of flame-retardant (FR) grades manufactured without intentionally added PFAS-based raw materials to its portfolio of Complēt™ PKE Long Fiber Reinforced Polyketone Thermoplastics. Beyond performance, various eco-conscious aspects of these long fiber thermoplastics (LFTs) bring additional value to the market.

Hydrocerol™ Foaming Agents: These additives are commonly used in consumer goods and automotive components to reduce part weight without compromising stiffness or mechanical properties. A range of specialty additives for sustainable packaging: These products improve the quality of PCR and enable greater recycled content, including:

In addition to a high level of jetness, deep black colorants require very high light fastness (resistance to fading and discoloration when exposed to light) for automotive applications, robust wash fastness (resistance to frequent washing) for sportswear, and resistance to fading from frequent use for fashion and home textiles.   Satisfying all of these needs for deep black colorants in the textile industry has proven to be challenging over the past few years as certain color technologies could meet only one or two but not all requirements,” said Mauro Dallavalle, senior marketing manager, Color & Additives Fibers at Avient.

Avient’s Hammerhead FR Flame Retardant Composite Panels are an industry-first, patent-pending thermoplastic composite sandwich structure featuring integrated flame retardance that can eliminate the need for additional FR sheets or coatings.
