Cesa Cor anticorrosion concentrates are used to protect ferrous and most non-ferrous metals from the deteriorating effects of corrosion. The design and lightweighting benefits of thermoplastics with the conductive performance of metal

Avient’s transportation portfolio includes sustainable technologies that offer lightweight structural alternatives to metals, while delivering comparable or improved performance; reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions to improve interior air quality; specialty colors & effects enable paint replacement technologies. Paint replacement technologies, including Artisan™ ABS portfolio and Molded-In Color Metallic

During the extrusion process, Cesa™ Process Additives coat the inner surface of the die, reducing the friction between the melt and the metal and allowing polymers to extrude more easily. Reduces the friction between the melt and the metal in the die

They are frequently used to replace metal for applications in which light weighting, improved impact strength, elastic modulus, and material strength are required.   Provides structural performance that can go head-to-head with metals at a fraction of the weight.

High density polymer-metal composites are an ideal alternative to lead and other traditional metals
