Additives and Colorants for Stadium and Arena Seats
Over time arena seats can be susceptible to loss
of mechanical properties and color fading due to
sun exposure.
Our CESA™ additive solutions include UV stabilizers,
UV stabilizer/color combination products, and
UV stabilizer/flame retardant/color combination
products when flame retardancy is needed.
Custom color solutions are also available on request.

Mevopur™ Healthcare Colorants and Formulations
and Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives
for In Vitro Diagnostic Devices
Diagnostic devices and consumables, now more
than ever, play a vital role in delivery of safe
treatements.
Plastic materials offer opportunities and play an
increasingly vital role: colors aid identification and
automated laboratory processes while functional
additives expand the usable property window of
the polymer in areas such as surface chemistry
or oxygen protection.
