Based on the polymers chosen to create a specific TPE type, different performances and properties can be achieved.
To understand the chemical resistance performance of the TPE, it is important to consider the chemical resistance of different materials that can be used in formulating it.

Substance Safety Summary
SUBSTANCE: Titanium Dioxide
GENERAL STATEMENT
Titanium dioxide pigment (chemical formula: TiO2) is an inorganic white pigment found in an array of end uses.
TiO2 is a naturally occurring mineral used as a bright white pigment for paint, in the food industry as a coloring,
in sunscreens and cosmetics, and in other industrial uses.
After processing, it is exists as white, powdery solid.

Photothermally active particles added to the fibers
help transform the energy of invisible light rays into
heat for enhanced comfort in cold temperatures.
When exposed to a light source for 10 minutes, this
new generation of heat-preservation additives can
provide a temperature increase from 6°C to 12°C for
PET and PA fibers based on different let-down-ratio
and textile structure.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Offers reheating property for synthetic fibers
with specialty formulations
• Provides a temperature increase of up to 12°C
when exposed to a light source for 10 minutes
• Good spinnability
• Lower impact on the color
APPLICATIONS
Cesa Fiber Additives are intended for use in:
• Clothing: hoodie, sweater, jacket, ski clothing,
thermal underwear, etc

In addition, several blends of the above polymers such as
PC/ABS, PC/PETG, PC/PBT and PPO/PS have great commercial importance for several applications.
Optimal adhesion values are also obtained for
overmolds onto PC (Lexan), ABS (Cycoloy), PC/ABS(Cycolac) and PC/PBT (Xenoy) as demonstrated in Figure
