When coupled with customized metering equipment from Avient, processors were able to achieve uniform distribution of active CFA content.

Cesa WithStand solutions include technical assistance to customize the additive dosage, as well as support with processes and specifications, helping to reduce time to market and saving time and cost in the development process.

Custom colors and pigment loadings can be developed for specific applications.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Multipurpose, multi-resin colorant concentrates • Formulated with high quality, heavy metal-free pigments • Carrier system designed for compatibility across different resin systems • Samples available with quick turnaround in small lots for customer evaluation • Available in a wide range of stock and standard colors* • Low LDRs—typically 1–3% • Low minimum order quantities for both stock and non-stock colors * Color availability dependent on region or country PRODUCT BULLETIN MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS Omnicolor Multipurpose Colorants can be used for injection molding, blow molding, or profile and sheet extrusion processes.

With the ever-increasing demand for ready to eat and ready to cook foods, and the growth of the food deliver market, lids and protective films produced with this food contact-safe additives allow customers to see through the packaging, observing the quality of the content.

We believe that our ongoing commitment to be a leading sustainable organization and to remain at the forefront of fiber and coating technology will continue to drive the success of our customers, shareholders, and employees.

Both halogen and non-halogenated formulations are available for use across a variety of resins and can be customized for specific needs.
