Cesa™ WithStand™ Antimicrobial Additives Cesa™ WithStand™ Antimicrobial technologies counteract bacteria, fungi and microbes to enhance the performance of plastic products and devices. Formulated with organic and inorganic antimicrobial additives, Cesa WithStand technologies are tested to specific log reduction requirements to eliminate or inhibit microbe growth, and protect against microbial degradation, mold and mildew.

However, an ongoing challenge, especially for high-end products with demanding aesthetic requirements, is to prevent adhesive residue when the protective film is removed. Compared to current solvent- based coating technology, co-extrusion film using Versaflex CF has significantly reduced volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and helps reduce energy consumption by eliminating secondary coating and drying operations. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • High initial adhesion on steel, PMMA, and various other substrates • Stable and low adhesion build-up over time to prevent residue • Low unwinding force for improved efficiency when pasting film • Good gel control • One-step extrusion processing to improve manufacturing efficiency • Reduced VOC emissions compared to current solvent-based coating technology • Can be recycled as a thermoplastic material APPLICATIONS The low adhesion build-up performance of Versaflex CF 6668 TPE makes it ideal for use in protective films for high-end applications including: • Appliance • Household furniture • Building & construction • Automotive PRODUCT BULLETIN www.avient.com Copyright © 2021, Avient Corporation.

Home // Products // Long Fiber Technology Processing plastics requires low energy input producing favorable life cycle analysis (LCA) benefits and doesn’t create any toxic effluents. This can include technologies such as enhanced UV performance and heat stabilization.

HellermannTyton, a global leader in designing and manufacturing fastening solutions for the automotive industry, wanted to improve upon the bent steel plate it was using to fabricate a complicated seat fastening device for a leading automotive manufacturer. Among the required properties were high strength and stiffness, impact resistance, moderate temperature resistance and low warpage. This material offers the stiffness and high impact performance required to support and secure multiple electronic attachments, and provides the impact and temperature resistance needed.

Combat outposts require barriers and other structures that must be constructed quickly and efficiently in the field. Avient collaborated with Edwards to develop ballistic-resistant panels that were not only compatible with the required hardware but also met color requirements for better visual cover once deployed.  With our hardware fabrication capabilities and Avient’s knowledge of composite ballistic protection technology, we were able to create modular systems that reduce time and logistic requirements for our brave soldiers.”
