18-Dec-25 Avient Corporation has launched its Hiformer™ Non-PFAS Process Aid with Antioxidants (AO) in Latin America. This liquid process aid gives regional film packaging producers access to a non-fluorinated option without intentionally added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), while extending Avient’s established non-PFAS process aid technology and adding antioxidant functionality for polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) processing.
The Hiformer Non-PFAS Process Aid AO series is a liquid additive product for PP and PE applications created to help reduce friction between the polymer and metal. This can result in easier extrusion to reduce melt fracture as well as die build-up, and lower torque to support higher throughput. The liquid format allows typical loading dosage rates of 0.1-0.5%.
This additive is available for both non-food and food contact applications, with relevant FDA compliance for food film applications. By incorporating antioxidants into the process aid package, the AO series offers film manufacturers an additional option for addressing processing and performance needs within a single additive solution.
