VALVE-GATED TOOLS IN INJECTION MOLDING GUIDELINES CESA CLEAN ADDITIVES ™ KEY FEATURES Cesa™ Clean Additives • Cesa Clean is a concentrated purge product, not a purge compound. • It can be processed through manifolds, valve-gated tools and small sub gates. • Cesa Clean is 100% recyclable with polyolefin resins and compounds. GUIDELINES FOR USING CESA CLEAN ADDITIVES • Cesa Clean works best when molded maintaining normal (injection) pressure/shear • For best results, Avient recommends a “Running Color Change” which eliminates breaks in the molding cycle • Since the Cesa Clean concentrate will expand, it is recommended to reduce the shot size by 20% • It is designed for use at a let-down ratio (LDR) of 3.0% or (33:1); however, use rate can vary depending on the severity of the contamination but typically is 2.0–4.0% (a use rate higher than 6.0% may not have any positive affect on the cleaning performance) • Using Cesa Clean as a routine part of your color change rotation will allow faster changes and consume a minimal amount of raw material - Note: If the manifold is not cleaned routinely, this process may be more time consuming and additional material will be required • It is best to process at your normal polymer processing temperatures - For best performance, stock temperature should be at least 400°F - If 400°F is achieved during the purging process, no additional activation will occur during the reprocessing of regrind - All parts produced during the “Running Purge Cycle” should be captured as regrind, resulting in a scrap-free color change - If using sequential gates, open and close all gates at the same time while purging the tool - If contamination appears to be coming from one gate, open and close first, and for an extended period of time, to force more material through this location - When cleaning in this manner, pay close attention to shot size - Parts containing the previous or new color plus any Cesa Clean can be used as regrind INTRODUCING CESA CLEAN TO YOUR PROCESS Hand Blend • Hand weigh enough of the Cesa Clean and natural resin mix to equate to 3–5 times the barrel capacity • Use rate should be 3.0% or 33:1 for routine cleaning • For difficult-to-clean tooling, or tooling which is not routinely cleaned, start at 4.0% or 25:1 • Note: Do not attempt to vacuum load more than 15 feet from source as stratification/separation may occur Volumetric Feeder • Calibrate feeder to dispense 3.0% or 33:1 for routine cleaning • For difficult-to-clean tooling, or tooling which is not routinely cleaned, start at 4.0% or 25:1 • This style of feeder is highly recommended for at-the-throat metering of Cesa Clean Blending Units Most blenders have an extra bin for an additive • Fill the additive bin with Cesa Clean • Set blender to introduce the Cesa Clean at 2.0 to 4.0% • Note: Do not air convey any further than 15 feet as Cesa Clean has a high density and may separate from the mix.

Typically additional products such as surfactants are also added to help stabilize the color formulation. Importantly these advances also now allow color to be combined with additional functional additives without impacting process stability. Some key questions to consider when implementing liquid color: • Is your colorant addition negatively impacting or enhancing your process efficiency?

The company has updated its projections to include Dyneema, present the Distribution segment as discontinued operations, and adjust its outlook to reflect current demand conditions and additional unfavorable currency exchange. In addition, and in the near term, we believe current global demand is likely further weakened by customer inventory destocking."

CESA™ Light additives can protect the resin in multiple ways. CESA Light additives are available utilizing either of these two methods or with a synergistic blend of both. Many CESA Light products include CESA Nox additives, which also aids in polymer protection. 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.
