Cesa™ WithStand™ SX Low Haze Antimicrobial Additives PRODUCT BULLETIN Cesa™ WithStand™ SX Low Haze Antimicrobial Additives counteract bacteria, fungi, and microbes to enhance the performance of clear polycarbonate or plexiglass applications that require visual clarity. The patented formula of Cesa WithStand SX is especially suited for those products that use recycled resin, as it will not cause opacity or hazing as traditional antimicrobials often do. By limiting the growth of microbes in finished plastic parts, Cesa WithStand SX can reduce odor development and protect against staining, hazing, and discoloration to keep products looking newer.
