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.

The tub features a custom overmolded GLS Versaflex™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and non-toxic PolyOne OnColor™ colorants. In addition, Karibu chose PolyOne’s non-toxic OnColor™ colorants, which are customizable and compatible with the GLS TPE material.   Because the TPE bonds well to the polypropylene (PP) substrate, the tub withstands repeated folding and unfolding.
