INTRODUCTION
SMARTER MATERIALS
High-Performance Thermoplastics
Today’s technology and regulatory trends are driving greater demand for high-
performance thermoplastics across many global industries.
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE: This is required
to allow medical and dental equipment
to be disinfected, and to improve the
durability of components used in the
chemical processing industries.
Regarded as some of the highest performing
thermoplastics in the industry, these light and versatile alternatives to metals and ceramics can
accept the challenges posed by a broad range of applications and industries.

Cesa™ Laser Marking Additives
Cesa™ Laser Marking additive technology gives manufacturers a new level of control in laser marking
polymers with speed and clarity.
The additive technology can be custom formulated for specific resin and laser types.
Unlike other marking processes, it does
not require consumables such as hot foil tapes,
inks and solvents.
