Clariant (High Point, North Carolina) has transitioned to a fully per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-free additive portfolio as of December 2023. By eliminating PFAS from its entire additive portfolio, Clariant says it offers customers sustainable alternatives without compromising performance. Transitioning to PFAS-free additives ahead of schedule, Clariant safeguards the environment (aligning with global trends) and ensures its customers can adapt to upcoming eco-friendly regulations without disruption.
Its product portfolio features PFAS-free solutions including Ceridust 8170 M, a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-free texturing agent for powder coatings that
offers optimal performance with lower energy use compared to PTFE-containing products.
Another product, Clariant’s AddWorks PPA line of polymer processing aids, enables melt fracture control, efficient extrusion and optimal film quality, while meeting the need for more environmentally sustainable additives and ensuring compliance with stringent environmental regulations in this application area.
