Cesa™ bright masterbatches enhance the long-term white appearance of plastic products by converting UV radiation into a bluish light, providing better brightness retention than topical optical brighteners.

This is achieved by molding a soft
skin of thermoplastic elastomer over a hard engineering plastic.
The TPE chemistry and the type of
engineering plastic play a critical role in influencing wettability.
The bond strength between the TPE and the engineering plastic was measured
by performing a “90o Peel Test”.
