ColorMatrix™ Optica™
Specialty Toners for PC
Polycarbonate is used for the production of
automotive interiors and appliances to consumer
goods and electronics, replacing more traditional
materials such as glass and acrylic.
ColorMatrix™ Optica™ Specialty Toners for PC is the
cutting-edge liquid toner for polycarbonate resins
that provides visual clarity for PC and improves
aesthetics on the product surface.
This solution
offers better color consistency and better color
dispersion in transparent PC resins, helping to
retain transparent properties and preventing
contamination by keeping production lines clean.

Light Stability
PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE
Exposure to the sun, heat, and oxygen through
outdoor exposure causes the degradation of
the polymer, resulting in yellowing, loss of melt
strength, and loss of mechanical properties in most
resins.
CESA™ Light additives can protect the resin
in multiple ways.
It is
effective at protecting the resin and, if needed, the
contents.
