THE CHALLENGE
A major US automotive OEM makes extensive use
of lightweight composites materials.
They realized they might be able to shave off even more
weight and improve performance by replacing the
aluminum braces with a continuous-fiber composite if
they could find a material with an exceptional strength-
to-weight ratio, high flexural stiffness, good torsional
rigidity, and superior fatigue strength.
THE IMPACT
Finding ways to reduce weight is a high priority for vehicle
manufacturers, because lighter weight corresponds to
better fuel efficiency for gas-powered vehicles and more
miles per charge for electric cars.

Victorinox designed and manufactured
its first knives more than 130 years ago, and their pocket
knives have been officially issued to Swiss Army recruits
since 1891.
For engineers
at Victorinox, the answer was to make it even more
durable and user-friendly than previous versions.

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-12/Cesa Fiber Additives Chain Extenders for Recycled PET Fibers Product Bulletin.pdf
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.
APPLICATIONS
Avient’s chain extenders for fibers can be used to
boost the processing of recycled polyester for a
variety of textile products, including:
• Clothing and sportswear
• Bags and backpacks
• Home textiles and upholstery
• Automotive textiles and insulation/heat
management systems
• Carpets and rugs
WORKING PRINCIPLE
As opposed to standard chain extenders, which
usually branch the PET molecules, Avient’s chain
extenders for recycled PET fibers extend the
molecules in a linear way, which is more adapted
to the reprocessing into fibers.
Even a slight
improvement of the intrinsic viscosity (IV)/molecular
weight supports a smoother and more stable
processing of the recycled polyester.
