The Solution
Lowered energy requirements versus painting and the reduction of VOCs also made this masterbatch a more environmentally sustainable solution.

The Solution
The solution increased loading per square foot and provided a moisture and debris barrier, and because they are thermoplastic, these CFRTP materials will be more easily recycled compared to alternative materials.

CESA™ Nox Additives
Stabilization
PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE
Exposure to heat, shear and oxygen during
processing causes the creation of free radicals from
the polymer.
These free radicals rapidly react with
other polymer chains, propagating the degradation
of the polymer and resulting in yellowing, black
specks, loss of melt strength, and mechanical
properties in most resins.
Contact your sales representative for more information, or to learn more about
custom solutions for your application.

Enhancing polymer materials
with colorants can:
• Differentiate products
• Reinforce branding
• Evoke emotions
• Add value to a
commodity item
• Promote safety
Creative and effective use of polymer colorants, which come in liquid and solid forms,
can have an impact all along the value chain.
Choosing the best solution for your application
means evaluating different technologies against your particular requirements and goals.
