This small drop can be a game-changer in efficiencies for a typical PVC extruder. THE IMPACT As tests and trials were conducted, it was shown that the Excelite dispersion interacted more intimately and consistently with PVC resin, essentially becoming part of the PVC resin matrix. To illustrate, in the same PVC dryblend (pictured below), Excelite significanty reduced density with little to no effect on cell quality.

PRODUCT BULLETIN Cesa™ & OnCap™ Animal-Free & Food Contact Approved Film Additives Animal-Free Additive Solutions for Flexible Food Packaging with Extensive Food Contact Approvals FOOD PACKAGING IN A CHANGING MARKET In many food contact applications, flexible plastic packaging is replacing rigid packaging for varied reasons; it has lightweight characteristics, is easy to customize in any shape, and has a favorable carbon footprint. This often involves food contact approvals that extend beyond the EU or the USA, and take into consideration specific regions or other food safety standards. 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.
