APPLICATIONS Cesa Fiber Additives for flame retardancy are recommended for spun-dyed PP, PET and PA fibers used in applications such as automotive textiles, home and office furnishings, clothing, and carpeting.

HOW GLS TPES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN INFANT CARE APPLICATIONS • Safe to Use – Made without bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, or heavy metals; select grades compliant with FDA, REACH and China GB4806 • Durable – Resists bites and tears; many are tested and safe to use in microwaves and dishwashers • Comfortable – Can be overmolded to provide a soft touch grip and customized to specific comfort requirements including vibration and noise reduction • Easy to Process – Can be injection molded and overmolded right onto a substrate including PP, ABS, etc

We use our proven expertise in formulating high temperature thermoplastics to create formulations based on materials that include: • PEEK • PSU • PEI • LCP • PES • PPS • PPSU These specialty formulations give manufacturers confidence in the reliability and durability of their products.

Specifically, these additives have been proven to be effective inhibiting E. coli and MRSA across these resins: • TPE/TPU • PET • HDPE • ABS • POM • PP • PC Custom formulations can be validated for various resin types, and under specific processing conditions, at an independent testing lab to ensure results in commercialization.

Compared to rubber and silicone alternatives they simplify manufacturing with single-step fabrication, reducing the energy used in production and can be overmolded directly onto non-polar polymer substrates such as polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE).

Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy

However, thermoplastic composites are gaining traction because of their recyclability, ease of manufacturing and design flexibility. On the other hand, thermoplastic composites have enhanced toughness, and the potential for recyclability. 

Brand owners are seeking more easily recycled materials, such as aluminum, and closurelogic’s use of TPE cap liners satisfy all three challenges—water quality, seal integrity and sustainability.

Their high coverage potential also makes them ideal for overshading/overdyeing recycled materials or feedstock.
