Why is PET
so Popular?
Sheet & Film—Sheets and films made
of PET are another major use case.
PET
sheets can be used to make a variety of
plastic products and film is often used
for tape backing, plastic wrap, medical
packaging, and protective coating on
windows.

In addition, we store sensitive data, including proprietary business information,
intellectual property and confidential employee or other personal data, on our servers and databases.
Amounts invested in our foreign
operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date.
We
also tested management’s controls to validate that the data used in the accrual estimate
was complete and accurate.

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.
Cesa™ Stat Additives & OnCap™ Anti-static Additives
Static charges that build up on the surface of plastic
products can attract dust and dirt, cause sheets and
film to cling, and cause stacked products to stick
together.

Packaging
The Hydrocerol CFAs portfolio includes grades
specially developed for extruded packaging films
and sheets where thermoforming characteristics
of the finished article are critical.
This cellular structure
results in weight reductions of 15 to 30%
in films and sheets and 20 to 40% in pipes,
profiles, and boards.
