Cesa™ Laser Additives Laser welding solutions Laser plastic welding, also often referred to as transmission welding, is a process of bonding plastic parts using focused laser radiation. Our Cesa™ Laser Additives portfolio includes laser welding solutions that create high-quality, durable welds for various thermoplastics. The additives are delivered as concentrates to use with a let- down ratio of typically 1 to 4% or as ready-to-use formulations to use without further dilution.

Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives for Pharmaceutical Packaging Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives help protect and enhance the performance of polymers used in pharmaceutical packaging products such as vials, bottles, closure systems, films and combination devices. These functional additives are available as concentrates to dilute into the polymer, or ready-to-use formulations that can be used as such without dilution.
