In effect, the surface energy is changed to allow a fluid to ‘roll off’ the polymer material. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Eliminates secondary coating operations • Easily delivers the last drop out of a container • Reduces residual content • Reduces production costs • Won’t impact visual clarity • Non-PFAS formulations available APPLICATIONS Cesa Low Retention Additives are suitable for any olefinic application that would benefit from the ability to repel water or fluids, including: • Labware, including pipette tips • Monofilaments • Industrial fixtures • Woven fibers • Platform mats • Molded optical lenses • Medical devices • Extruded films • Carpet fibers • Textiles PRODUCT BULLETIN

The bars were then evaluated each day for visual changes. After three days of exposure to the hospital disinfectants, a 20x magnified image was taken of each set of bars to demonstrate the effect of the chemical. Visual inspection of the bars was used to classify the bars based on the amount of crazing or cracking which occurred.

Gravi-Tech REC formulations enable visual surface effects and aesthetics, including electroplated metallic finish, cool touch, and color variation.

It creates different visual textures that can look like one color when viewed from a distance but, when viewed close-up, can appear to have a grading effect.
