Filled and reinforced composite materials offer lighter weight, equal strength options versus metal
These advanced polymers offer a high stiffness-to-weight ratio and can replace dense metals that add vehicle weight

As a result, the materials are ideal for metal replacement and lightweighting initiatives in automotive and powersports applications that encounter varying climates or intermittent exposure to water.
Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

Highlights:
• Bases and bleed barriers
• Improved durability and elongation
• Modifiers and additives include thickener, reducer, and matte additives to increase the productivity and improve the finish, and effect additives to achieve textured suede or high density (3D) effect
• RFU colors a palette of 14 RFU mixing color inks, including fluorescents and silver and gold metallic
• Special-effect inks add dimension and dazzling impact to any flat print
Examples include:
• Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation
• Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

And unlike silicone and other denesting agents, Cesa Denesting additives don’t require extra steps in the manufacturing process, maintain the transparency of the sheet, and allow for metallization and printing of the packaging.
Enables metallization and printability of the packaging

The very high conductivity of metals simply may be more than is needed to prevent damage from heat build-up.
No need to face the extra processing times or costs that go into painting or vacuum metallization required with traditional polymer formulations.
