POMMERLOCH, Luxembourg – February 4, 2025 – Today, Avient Corporation, an innovator of materials solutions, announced the launch of new stain-resistant additive concentrates as the latest addition to its Cesa™ Fiber Additives portfolio. These additive concentrates can help enhance the durability and cleanliness of polyester fibers used in automotive textiles, carpets, rugs, and home and office furnishings.

The new Cesa stain-resistant solutions are innovative, additive concentrates that are formulated without fluorine-based raw materials and can prevent soils from setting in polyester fibers, enabling easy stain removal with common cleaners like wipes, sprays, or steamers. Incorporated directly into the yarn during extrusion, they provide efficient stain-release properties and reduce the need for additional treatments to impart stain-resistance efficacy to polyester textiles.

Additionally, color can be integrated into the additive in a Smartbatch™ combination concentrate for seamless incorporation of both color and stain-resistance efficacy in the fiber with the spin-dyeing (dope-dyeing) process, a one-in-one fiber manufacturing and dyeing method using no water. 

“The additives are also formulated to be compatible with over-dyeing, allowing manufacturers to bath-dye or piece-dye polyester yarns and textiles containing Cesa stain-resistant concentrates without compromising the stain-resistance efficacy,” said Mauro Dallavalle, Sr. Marketing Manager Fiber Global, Color & Additives in Avient.
