KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Fabric FX can be formulated to include properties such as UV color protection and anti-scratch performance • Fabric FX can be processed on standard molding machinery • Different matrix materials can be enhanced with Fabric FX, including ABS, PC/ABS, PB, and unfilled or talc-filled PP • There is no limitation on the graining that can be used; the fabric effect will differ depending on the grain effect engraved in the tool • If parts are extruded or a mold is not engraved, final parts will have an attractive speckled appearance, but will not be textured TYPICAL USES Fabric FX concentrates are suitable for any application that could benefit from an enhanced textile-like appearance.

BENEFITS • High additive loading for optimal UV stabilization • Solutions available for a large number of injection molded polymers including PP, PE, PS, HIPS, ABS, SAN, PA (nylon), PBT, Co-PET, PC, POM and TPU • Can be combined with colors and other additives in Smartbatch™ solutions • Formulations can be customized to meet specific regulatory compliance, e.g., EU and US food contact, toy, UL 94 recognition PRODUCT BULLETIN Copyright © 2023, Avient Corporation. The white ABS plastic samples, produced with and without Cesa Light Additives, were exposed to simulated sunlight conditions using the weathering test ISO 4892- 2:2013.

FEP inks for printing, striping, or top coating on insulated wires or tubing. LOW-TEMPERATURE PRINTING & STRIPING INKS These are aqueous/alcoholic inks used for printing, striping or top coating on lower-temperature substrates. PROCESSING Printing and striping inks can be applied via offset printing, using a bath-and-wheel process, by airbrushing, or by top coating on the substrate followed by a drying step to evaporate the water, and by a sintering step to bind the pigments to the surface.

Watch to learn how Cesa™ Unify™ A4R helps bring incompatible polymers, such as PP and PE, together by forming them into a homogenous polymer mixture that increases mechanical properties based on polymer modification.
