In addition, Cesa slip masterbatches can act as plasticizers and impact enhancers, as well as antiblock, antitack and antistatic agents.

In addition to communicating fourth quarter and full year 2020 performance, we will use the webcast to update investors and analysts on the Clariant Masterbatch integration and synergy capture, which is ahead of schedule, and introduce growth projections for 2021."

We can now offer expanded resin families that incorporate biocompatible functional additives, in both masterbatch and compounded forms, that meet or exceed industry standards for USP Class VI or ISO 10993 biocompatibility testing.”

MagIQ colorants can help you achieve the color precision and color fastness of concentrate (a.k.a. masterbatch) pellets while giving you the production flexibility of traditional aqueous dyeing.​

Available in masterbatch form, the colorants have been created to include materials such as almond shells, glitter flakes, fibers and other special effects.
