PRODUCT BULLETIN
Non-PFAS Polymer Process Aids
for Extrusion in Polyolefins
Cesa™ and Hiformer™ Non-PFAS Process Aids are
formulated without the use of fluorochemicals.
They can be used in the extrusion of polyethylene
or polypropylene to reduce the friction between the
molten polymer and metal, enabling the polymers
to be extruded without melt fracture.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Reduces melt fracture leading to fast time
to clear
• Reduces die buildup
• Improves process efficiency
• Retains ability to seal and print
• Available in both solid and liquid
• Offers low concentration efficiency
• Reduces power requirements
• Does not interact with other additives
APPLICATIONS
• Blown film
• Profile extrusion
• Tubing and pipe extrusion
• Wire and cable applications
• Extruded sheet
• Applications in both virgin resin and PCR
