Finally, the new TPE grades also boasted lower extractables because they required no crosslinking, unlike thermoset silicones.
Reduced freight costs: The lower specific gravity of TPEs versus thermoset silicone rubber cut the overall part weight by 20 percent.
Reduced scrap costs: The easy processability of the two TPE materials resulted in major scrap rate reductions totaling more than $70,000 a year.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(In millions, except per share data)

Cesa™ & OnCap™ Anti-blocking Additives
In order to prevent self-adhesion of plastic films or
sheets, anti-blocking additives reduce the surface
coefficient of friction by creating a slightly rougher
or smoother surface.
Cesa™ Stat Additives & OnCap™ Anti-static Additives
Static charges that build up on the surface of plastic
products can attract dust and dirt, cause sheets and
film to cling, and cause stacked products to stick
together.

Packaging
The Hydrocerol CFAs portfolio includes grades
specially developed for extruded packaging films
and sheets where thermoforming characteristics
of the finished article are critical.
This cellular structure
results in weight reductions of 15 to 30%
in films and sheets and 20 to 40% in pipes,
profiles, and boards.
