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.

Provides Visual Clarity for PC Resins Better color dispersion in transparent PC resin compared to pigments helping to retain transparent properties Cutting-edge liquid toner for polycarbonate resins that provides visual clarity for PC and improves aesthetics on the product surface

polycarbonate, ABS, POM, PBT). Now that resin producers are offering bio-based polyolefins and other polymers pre-tested to healthcare standards, the healthcare industry can start switching to bio-based polymers and bio-based polymer solutions to help reduce the carbon footprint and increase the sustainability of their plastic parts. These color and additive solutions are available as concentrates or ready-to-use pre-colored formulations in bio-based polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, styrenic resins and ABS.

Launching today are reSound R VX TPEs, reSound R ND polyamides, and reSound R PC polycarbonates. These nylon formulations contain 100 percent PCR resin, and are available in both PA6 and PA66 grades with various levels of glass fiber and mineral reinforcements. Recycled-content polycarbonates For the Asia market, Avient now offers reSound R PC, a range of polycarbonates with glass filler levels from 10 to 30 percent and recycled content ranging from 25 to 75 percent.

From engineered, man-made, or natural fiber reinforcements to thermoset or thermoplastic resins, there is a lot to consider when selecting a composite material. Thermoplastics used in making composites range from polypropylene (PP), nylon (PA) and polycarbonate (PC) to polyester, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and polyetheretherketone (PEEK).
