Adding an anti-fog solution to a film recipe delivers value to brand owners and film manufacturers in multiple ways: Reduces operating cost: Anti-fog additives are a drop-in solution. They reinforce packaging integrity by maintaining a film’s sealing properties, avoiding delamination of the film structure, and maintaining transparency. MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS OnCap anti-fog additives are formulated for use in transparent packaging of chilled fresh foods such as: • Fresh fish • Meats • Vegetables • Fruit • Ready-to-eat meals These anti-fog materials can be incorporated into: • Lidding barrier film on rigid or semi-rigid containers • Stretch film • Shrink film • BOPP film www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

Beyond Acrylic: New Resilience™ LS Materials from PolyOne Boost LED Lens Performance

Cesa™ Impact Modifiers can enhance the impact resistance of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) materials while maintaining excellent clarity in sheets and films. Maintains outstanding clarity in PET and PETG sheet and film PET / PETG trays, PETG shrink films)

More and more convertors and brand owners working with flexible film products are seeking materials and solutions that permit them to work with mono-material compositions for their packaging options, as mono-materials are easier to recycle and therefore contribute to a circular economy over time. The additive’s formulation ensures smooth and efficient processing of mono-material polyolefin films that contain low-temperature sealing layers, improving the overall performance of the packaging, and providing a reliable and user-friendly experience for both manufacturers and end-users. KEY FEATURES • Enables the transition from complex, multi- material flexible packaging to recyclable mono- material solutions • Provides anti-block and slip functionalities for low-temperature sealing layers • Helps to eliminate non-compatible film layers in food packaging • Improves yield during sorting and enhances post-consumer recyclate (PCR) quality, helping to reduce waste • Compatible with polyolefins and seamlessly integrates into existing film extrusion processes MARKETS & APPLICATIONS Cesa Anti-Block Slip LS is used in various applications in flexible polyolefin food packaging, including bags and pouches, lidding films, and lamination films.

These products contain alkali-stabilized acrylic resin, pigments, water and a small amount of nonmetallic preservative.

Cesa™ Mat masterbatch are added to polymers to modify surface properties to reduce gloss and develop a matte or frost-like effect in PET polyester sheet and bottles, polyolefin films and other products. Available in a number of different carriers ranging from polyolefins and styrenics to engineering resins: injection molding, blow molding, film and sheet extrusion, PET sheets and bottles, polyolefin films.

WHAT IT DOES This range of additives offers food contact approved solutions that address these changing market requirements, to help improve existing film properties such as slip, anti-block, anti-static or no-fog. Cesa™ No-fog Additives & OnCap™ Anti-fogging Additives Minimizing the negative effect of condensation on the film surface is one of the key needs during the food packing process and on the shelf. Avient’s anti-blocking additives were designed in order to have a very limited effect on the optical properties of the film while providing very efficient anti-blocking even at low dosing levels.

They are recommended to create a sandpaper-like surface modification of thick films (>80 to 100 microns). Cesa Grip 9101 masterbatch is used for the production of film for heavy-duty bags. Anti-fog additives are a cost-efficient means of maintaining the high-optical qualities of polyolefin films used to pack perishable foods.
