Joule RHB additive is available in a small number
of varying package types and weights.
In order to achieve optimum polymer quality when
using Joule RHB additive, it is important to observe
the following conditions:
• It should be prepared, stored and dosed on its
own and not in combination with any other
additives.
Other additives, such as Phosphoric Acid
(which is typically used as a thermal stabilizer)
can be used in conjunction with Joule RHB
additive and may be dosed at the same point
if process constraints dictate, but only when
using a separate lance to that used for the
reheat additive.

The company has updated its projections to include Dyneema, present the Distribution segment as discontinued operations, and adjust its outlook to reflect current demand conditions and additional unfavorable currency exchange.
In addition, and in the near term, we believe current global demand is likely further weakened by customer inventory destocking."

WithStand antimicrobial additives can be combined
with colorants or other functional additives in a

VALVE-GATED TOOLS IN
INJECTION MOLDING GUIDELINES
CESA
CLEAN ADDITIVES
™
KEY FEATURES
Cesa™ Clean Additives
• Cesa Clean is a concentrated purge product, not a purge compound.
• It can be processed through manifolds, valve-gated tools and small sub gates.
• Cesa Clean is 100% recyclable with polyolefin resins and compounds.
GUIDELINES FOR USING CESA CLEAN ADDITIVES
• Cesa Clean works best when molded maintaining normal (injection)
pressure/shear
• For best results, Avient recommends a “Running Color Change”
which eliminates breaks in the molding cycle
• Since the Cesa Clean concentrate will expand, it is recommended
to reduce the shot size by 20%
• It is designed for use at a let-down ratio (LDR) of 3.0% or (33:1); however,
use rate can vary depending on the severity of the contamination but
typically is 2.0–4.0% (a use rate higher than 6.0% may not have any
positive affect on the cleaning performance)
• Using Cesa Clean as a routine part of your color change rotation will
allow faster changes and consume a minimal amount of raw material
- Note: If the manifold is not cleaned routinely, this process may be
more time consuming and additional material will be required
• It is best to process at your normal polymer processing temperatures
- For best performance, stock temperature should be at least 400°F
- If 400°F is achieved during the purging process, no additional
activation will occur during the reprocessing of regrind
- All parts produced during the “Running Purge Cycle” should be
captured as regrind, resulting in a scrap-free color change
- If using sequential gates, open and close all gates at the same time
while purging the tool
- If contamination appears to be coming from one gate, open and
close first, and for an extended period of time, to force more material
through this location
- When cleaning in this manner, pay close attention to shot size
- Parts containing the previous or new color plus any Cesa Clean
can be used as regrind
INTRODUCING CESA CLEAN TO YOUR PROCESS
Hand Blend
• Hand weigh enough of the Cesa Clean and
natural resin mix to equate to 3–5 times the
barrel capacity
• Use rate should be 3.0% or 33:1 for routine
cleaning
• For difficult-to-clean tooling, or tooling which
is not routinely cleaned, start at 4.0% or 25:1
• Note: Do not attempt to vacuum load more than
15 feet from source as stratification/separation
may occur
Volumetric Feeder
• Calibrate feeder to dispense 3.0% or 33:1 for
routine cleaning
• For difficult-to-clean tooling, or tooling which
is not routinely cleaned, start at 4.0% or 25:1
• This style of feeder is highly recommended for
at-the-throat metering of Cesa Clean
Blending Units
Most blenders have an extra bin for an additive
• Fill the additive bin with Cesa Clean
• Set blender to introduce the Cesa Clean at
2.0 to 4.0%
• Note: Do not air convey any further than 15 feet
as Cesa Clean has a high density and may separate
from the mix.

Typically additional
products such as surfactants are also added to help stabilize the color formulation.
Importantly these advances also
now allow color to be combined with
additional functional additives without
impacting process stability.
Some key questions to consider when implementing liquid color:
• Is your colorant addition negatively impacting or enhancing
your process efficiency?
