Silicones
Across dozens of industries and in a countless number of applications,
product designers and manufacturers have turned to thermoplastic
elastomers (TPEs) and liquid silicone rubber (LSR) to replace natural rubber.
When considering sustainable content TPEs, recycled
content formulations have more limitations based on the comingled nature
of recycled raw materials.
For these reasons
alone, LSR is often the natural choice for everything from medical instruments to FDA Class III and USP Class VI
implant products, including catheters, gastric feeding tubes, heart valves and stents.

Due to the
thin viscosity and mobile nature of the product,
consideration should be given to packaging and
the need for complete product integrity throughout
the distribution chain.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-11/Cesa Clean Processing Usage Guide.pdf
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.
