Cesa™ Fiber Additives
Chain Extenders for Recycled PET Fibers
In an effort to contribute to the circular economy,
the use of recycled content in textile products is
growing.
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.
Avient makes no warranties or guarantees
respecting suitability of either Avient’s products or the information for your process or end-use application.

Our Solutions…In Action
Case Studies in Sustainability
All of our work—from idea, to design, to R&D, and through to
commercialization—culminates when our customers’ products
are brought to market.
To support the transition to molded-in-color (MIC) parts, the
customer specified Avient’s metallic-effect Smartbatch™ FX
masterbatch colorants for two PC/ABS side panels on the center
console of a compact SUV.
