GUIDELINES FOR USING CESA CLEAN ADDITIVES
• Cesa Clean works best when molded maintaining normal (injection)
pressure/shear
• For best results, Avient recommends a “Running Color Change”
which eliminates breaks in the molding cycle
• Since the Cesa Clean concentrate will expand, it is recommended
to reduce the shot size by 20%
• It is designed for use at a let-down ratio (LDR) of 3.0% or (33:1); however,
use rate can vary depending on the severity of the contamination but
typically is 2.0–4.0% (a use rate higher than 6.0% may not have any
positive affect on the cleaning performance)
• Using Cesa Clean as a routine part of your color change rotation will
allow faster changes and consume a minimal amount of raw material
- Note: If the manifold is not cleaned routinely, this process may be
more time consuming and additional material will be required
• It is best to process at your normal polymer processing temperatures
- For best performance, stock temperature should be at least 400°F
- If 400°F is achieved during the purging process, no additional
activation will occur during the reprocessing of regrind
- All parts produced during the “Running Purge Cycle” should be
captured as regrind, resulting in a scrap-free color change
- If using sequential gates, open and close all gates at the same time
while purging the tool
- If contamination appears to be coming from one gate, open and
close first, and for an extended period of time, to force more material
through this location
- When cleaning in this manner, pay close attention to shot size
- Parts containing the previous or new color plus any Cesa Clean
can be used as regrind
INTRODUCING CESA CLEAN TO YOUR PROCESS
Hand Blend
• Hand weigh enough of the Cesa Clean and
natural resin mix to equate to 3–5 times the
barrel capacity
• Use rate should be 3.0% or 33:1 for routine
cleaning
• For difficult-to-clean tooling, or tooling which
is not routinely cleaned, start at 4.0% or 25:1
• Note: Do not attempt to vacuum load more than
15 feet from source as stratification/separation
may occur
Volumetric Feeder
• Calibrate feeder to dispense 3.0% or 33:1 for
routine cleaning
• For difficult-to-clean tooling, or tooling which
is not routinely cleaned, start at 4.0% or 25:1
• This style of feeder is highly recommended for
at-the-throat metering of Cesa Clean
Blending Units
Most blenders have an extra bin for an additive
• Fill the additive bin with Cesa Clean
• Set blender to introduce the Cesa Clean at
2.0 to 4.0%
• Note: Do not air convey any further than 15 feet
as Cesa Clean has a high density and may separate
from the mix.

FEATURES
• Created for
applications where
an untreated fiber
does not have the
ability to provide the
appropriate amount
of bonding
characteristics to
another material
• Provides adhesion to
another fiber or
substrate without
impacting other
performance
properties
• Improves adhesion
of the fiber to the
resin matrix it is
introduced into
• Enables industry
standard “burst”
tests or stringent
delamination
analysis
• Designed to achieve
vibrant colors for
safety, identification,
and aesthetics
• Specialized formulas
and binders adhere
the pigment to the
exterior of the
individual filaments,
while impregnating
deep into the fiber
bundle
• Available by Pantone
or RAL number
• Compatible with a
variety of composite
resins including
epoxy, polyurethane,
and polyethylene
• Stronger than
solution-dyed fibers
• Designed to add
lubricity and
temperature
resistance at the
filament level for
braided compression
packing
• Coating at the fiber
level versus the
finished braid
achieves higher %
level coating
• Fiber level coating
extends the life of
the braid and
reduces required
maintenance
• Various formulations
available
• PTFE, silicone,
graphite, and
mineral oil
• Created for high
performance fibers
that lack inherent
ultraviolet (UV)
resistance
• Coating impregnates
the individual fibers
with a specialized
resin for improved
UV protection
• Coating
enhancements
include UV inhibitors,
absorbers and
stabilizers
• Improves the
processing of the
product via reduced
filament snagging
and friction
• Low level water-
blocking finish for
any technical fiber or
textile substrate
• Provides water-
blocked strength
reinforcements for
dry cable designs
• Can absorb 5x to 15x
its weight in water
• Dust-free coating
imparts a very soft
fiber hand,
advantageous to
cable, rope, and
other textile
processes
• Patented technology
incorporates super
absorbent polymer (SAP)
suspended in a
proprietary resin matrix
• Used in the production
of ‘dry-dry’
telecommunications,
electromechanical,
seismic, umbilical and
power cables
• Can absorb up to 100x
its weight in water
• Creates a stable gel
when exposed to water
• Functionally replaces
flooding compounds,
filling gels, spun SAF
yarns, and water
blocking tapes
• Enables faster, more
economical and robust
cable manufacturing
• Increases durability and
abrasion resistance by
encapsulating filaments
in the fiber bundle
• Extends the life of the
product by reducing the
effects of friction and
yarn on yarn abrasion
• Protects the fiber
from degradation and
filamentation
• Ideal for high abrasion
and high friction
applications in a range
of fiber constructions
and environments
• Wicking refers to the
tendency of a yarn
or other fiber to draw
moisture into filaments
via capillary action
• Coatings designed to
prevent moisture from
wicking within and
between fibers and
strands
• Protects Wire or Optical
Fiber from damaging
effects of moisture,
which can cause a drop
in signal and attenuation
• Hydrophobic additives
used to promote and
enhance water
repellancy in industrial
applications
• Creates a waterproof
barrier that prevents
moisture from further
migration
• Applied at various %
levels to optimize for
water-proof ratings
• Designed to inhibit or
slow the spread of
fire/flame
• Coupled to fibers with
inherent flame and
thermal resistance to
boost performance
• Added to fibers with
weak flame resistance
to improve burn rating
