Oxidation and heat aging in plastics frequently cause a chain reaction that forms free radicals, breaks up the long polymer chains and degrades the appearance and performance of the plastic. At every stage of the plastic life cycle, from manufacturing through processing and end use, Cesa Nox antioxidant masterbatches help maintain shine and transparency while preventing yellowing, surface cracking and odors.

Association of Plastic Recyclers Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic to Work®, and is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.
