Traditionally, process aids for extrusion contain
fluoropolymers which may be classifiable as per-
and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS), a group of
chemicals widely used in a variety of applications
due to their ability to be water and oil repellent,
non-stick, and heat resistant.

PERFORMANCE ADDITIVES
• Cesa™ Nox A4R Additives for Enhanced
Recycling protect polymers against
degradation by enhancing the autocatalytic
cycle of radicals caused by O2 and heat during
the extrusion process and preventing hereby
further degradation.
