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?

CESA™ Light additives can protect the resin
in multiple ways.
CESA Light additives are available utilizing
either of these two methods or with a synergistic
blend of both.
Many CESA Light products include
CESA Nox additives, which also aids in polymer
protection.
