PRODUCT BULLETIN Cesa™ & OnCap™ Animal-Free & Food Contact Approved Film Additives Animal-Free Additive Solutions for Flexible Food Packaging with Extensive Food Contact Approvals FOOD PACKAGING IN A CHANGING MARKET In many food contact applications, flexible plastic packaging is replacing rigid packaging for varied reasons; it has lightweight characteristics, is easy to customize in any shape, and has a favorable carbon footprint. This often involves food contact approvals that extend beyond the EU or the USA, and take into consideration specific regions or other food safety standards. Cesa™ & OnCap™ Anti-blocking Additives In order to prevent self-adhesion of plastic films or sheets, anti-blocking additives reduce the surface coefficient of friction by creating a slightly rougher or smoother surface.

Versaflex™ Low Adhesive Build-up TPE for Protective Film Tack Layer Prevents Adhesive Residue Low adhesive build-up over time to prevent residue

Caption: Avient Launches New Generation Low Adhesive Build-Up Solution for Protective Film that Prevents Adhesive Residue. With added heat resistance, it also keeps adhesion performance stable in hot storage environments. It offers high initial adhesion on steel, rigid plastics such as PMMA (polymerized methyl methacrylate), and other surfaces, but with lower build-up of adhesive residue over time, a lower unwinding force, and better stability.
