CLEVELAND – October 25, 2021 – Avient today introduced its Edgetek™ Toughened polyphthalamide (PPA) formulations, offering improved heat performance and low moisture absorption versus nylon 66 (PA66) for demanding applications. With a slower moisture absorption rate than PA66, they also help to improve durability and long-term performance.
