CLEVELAND – July 31, 2024 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialty and sustainable materials solutions and services, is pleased to announce the launch of its latest mold release additive for high-temperature polymers. Formulated without intentionally added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), this new non-PFAS additive can be used to enhance the manufacturing processes of high-pressure injection molding. Part of the Colorant Chromatics™ portfolio of high-temperature polymer additives, Evoluscend™ non-PFAS mold release additive is an innovative solution for boosting production efficiency and product quality for manufacturers.
Colorant Chromatics™ Evoluscend™ non-PFAS mold release additive for high-temperature polymers integrates directly into plastic materials and migrates to the surface during molding to facilitate a smooth demolding experience. This process can help reduce cycle times and boost productivity by reducing demolding times and protecting the mold and the manufactured plastic parts while utilizing an alternative to PFAS-based additives. Evoluscend™ additive is effective across a range of high-temperature polymers, including PPSU, PES, PSU, PEI, LCP, PPS, and PEEK. Furthermore, it can be combined with polymer colorants where color design is desired in a mold release application.
Key features of Evoluscend™ non-PFAS mold release additive include:
"With the launch of Colorant Chromatics™ Evoluscend™ non-PFAS mold release additive for high-temperature polymers, we are proud to offer a product that not only can meet the high standards of modern manufacturing but also can support the sustainability goals and regulatory compliance needs of our clients by offering an alternative to intentionally added PFAS materials," said Deborah Sondag, Global Marketing Manager, Colorant Chromatics at Avient. "These innovations underscore our commitment to advancing the manufacturing industry while doing more to help protect our planet."
Pre-tested to both FDA food contact requirements and ISO10993 (subparts 4, 5, 10, 11)requirements for healthcare applications, the new Evoluscend™ mold release additive for high-temperature polymers is available to manufacturers globally, helping to set new benchmarks in production efficiency without PFAS-based additives.
