You may also hear these composites described as "plastic composites" or "fiber-reinforced plastic."
While you may also hear these composites described as “plastic composites” or “reinforced plastic,” historically composite materials are most commonly thermoset.

Fogging on
plastics films is really not all that different than the
fog that forms outside; it’s just that, on a plastic
film, fog forms on a convenient hydrophobic
surface—namely, the film.
Water vapor in the form of tiny droplets condenses
on a plastic film’s surface when an enclosed mass
of air cools to a temperature at its dew point.
But
plastics material systems are dynamic too.

Accounting for 25% or more of observed failures in
the field, it is believed that ESC is the leading cause
of plastic component failure.3 To better understand
the environmental contribution of stress cracking,
it is helpful to examine stress cracking in air (creep).
The materials
were evaluated for environmental stress cracking
resistance (ESCR) using an adaptation to ASTM D543
“Standard Practices for Evaluating the Resistance
of Plastics to Chemical Reagents.”
Plastics Engineering 2015, 71 (10), 30–36.

OnColor™ FX™ Special Effect Colorants
PRODUCT BULLETIN
Special effects can help boost the visual appeal of
plastic products and parts in many applications.
In addition, OnColor special
effects are incorporated into the plastic during part
manufacturing, removing the need for secondary
processes like painting, eliminating the associated
VOC emissions and preventing peel-off issues.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2025-01/Cesa Withstand SX Low Haze Product Bulletin.pdf
By limiting the growth of microbes in finished
plastic parts, Cesa WithStand SX can reduce odor
development and protect against staining, hazing,
and discoloration to keep products looking newer.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Patented next-gen formulation that can preserve
visual clarity and aesthetics in applications using
recycled content
• Reduces bacterial, mold, and fungal growth
on the surface and through the thickness of the
plastic part
• Helps reduce odor, staining, discoloration,
and loss of mechanical properties
• Available for various processes including
extrusion, injection molding, blow molding,
rotational molding, and thermoforming
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
These antimicrobial additives are well-suited for
clear polycarbonate or plexiglass applications using
recycled resin including:
• Electronics
• Packaging
• Consumer goods
• Protective shields and sneeze guards
• Plexiglass windows or panels
• Clear phone or tablet cases
• Modular office construction
• Point-of-purchase screens
• Touchscreen information kiosks
• Transportation infotainment screens
