Cesa™ WithStand™ Antimicrobial Additives Cesa™ WithStand™ Antimicrobial technologies counteract bacteria, fungi and microbes to enhance the performance of plastic products and devices. By limiting the growth of microbes in finished plastic parts, Cesa WithStand can reduce odor development, helping products smell better longer. They provide a proven, effective and durable solution for countering microbe growth in finished plastic parts used in health and wellness applications.

SynPlicity™ 1000 cosmetic ester provides an excellent balance of performance and durability for nail polish formulations in a highly-efficient, non-phthalate and bio-based alternative to petroleum-derived plasticizers. SynPlicity™ 1000 cosmetic ester can help you achieve plasticizer usage levels and performance characteristics comparable to DBP, BBP and other high solvating plasticizers with a 94% bio-based, non-phthalate alternative. SynPlicity™ 1000 can also be used in combination with conventional plasticizers.

Antimony trioxide has the unique ability to make halogen-based plastic additives more effective in reducing the flammability of the finished plastics. ATO is only used as an industrial intermediate in manufacturing locations designed for the handling of plastics and chemicals. USES AND APPLICATIONS Antimony trioxide is predominantly used in plastics where resistance to ignition and flammability are required.
