Cesa laser marking solutions can be used with a variety of thermoplastics including, but not limited to: • PP • PC/ABS • Polyamide • Polyacetal (POM) Applications include: • Traceability, UPC, Branding • Food Packaging Lot Codes • Industrial Safety Tags & Equipment • Wire & Cable Part Numbers & Gauge Size • Automotive Components • PE • PET • PMMA • Polyolefins PRODUCT BULLETIN WHY LASER MARKING?

APPLICATIONS • Aerospace • Automotive • Building & construction • Public transportation • Wire & cable IMPACT • Reduce spread of fire and heat release • Limit quantity of smoke to allow people to find their way to safety more easily • Limit toxicity and acidity of gases so people are less likely to be overcome by fumes • Enhance char formation, avoiding droplets which can proliferate fire • Meet regulation and legislation requirements 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2023, Avient Corporation.

APPLICATIONS • Clothing and apparel, to avoid odors caused by sweat-induced bacteria proliferation • Household furnishings and carpeting, to protect these products from microbial growth that can cause stains and odor • Home textiles and rugs, to prevent mildew • Automotive and public transportation upholstery and carpeting, to extend service life HOW IT WORKS Avient offers two major types of antimicrobials for fibers: organic and inorganic.

Since PEI resin offers excellent resistance to heat and fire, and has very good dimensional stability, it is ideal for a variety of applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, telecommunications and healthcare.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Protects finished part by inhibiting microbial and fungi growth • Extends useful life of finished TPE parts by controlling deterioration caused by mildew or mold fungus • Increases product durability, preserves surface integrity, and minimizes odors MARKETS & APPLICATIONS Suitable for high-touch surfaces and applications, GLS TPEs with antimicrobial technologies add value in the consumer, packaging and automotive markets.

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.

These CFAs are the result of Avient’s combined experiences in the development of chemical foaming agents for automotive plastic components and polymer solutions for healthcare applications.
