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.
Cesa™ Stat Additives & OnCap™ Anti-static Additives
Static charges that build up on the surface of plastic
products can attract dust and dirt, cause sheets and
film to cling, and cause stacked products to stick
together.
