Edgetek™ Toughened PPA Formulations
TECHNICAL BULLETIN
The Edgetek™ Toughened PPA series consists of
heat-stabilized, impact-modified polyphthalamide
(PPA) formulations with low moisture absorption.
These robust materials also
incorporate heat stabilization to maintain tensile
strength and tensile elongation properties for long-
term thermal aging up to 120°C.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• High-temperature performance
• Excellent impact resistance
• Decreased moisture absorption compared
to PA66
• Heat stabilized for long-term thermal aging
• Enhanced chemical resistance
• Customizable formulations in filled and
unfilled grades
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
The combined performance characteristics make
Edgetek Toughened PPA ideal for a range of rigid
engine applications.

Cesa™ Raise Heat Stability Modifier for APET Packaging
Cesa™ Raise is a heat stability modifier specifically
designed for amorphous polyethylene terephthalate
(APET) thermoformed packaging.
The technology
addresses the limitations of traditional APET
thermoformed cups and containers, which can only
be used up to 60°C, by increasing its heat stability to
up to 100°C.
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
• Thermoformed, APET food packaging, including:
- Hot steam sterilization
- Hot fill
- Microwave use
• Polyester
• Sheet extrusion & thermoforming
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Suitable for hot steam sterilization, hot fill, and
microwave applications
• Ideal for food-grade containers with high rigidity
and improved gas barrier
• Can withstand temperatures up to 100°C
• Available in both transparent and opaque
options
• Processable on existing thermoforming lines
with heated molds
KEY BENEFITS
• A fully circular monomaterial, up to 100% rPET
polymer content
• Promotion of the circularity of PET and the
resulting packaging is possible
• Helps customers to comply with the Packaging
and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) that
demands recyclability of all packaging with
binding PCR content targets by 2030
• Demonstrates improved productivity in
comparison to CPET during thermoforming
• Helps avoid possible EPR fees or penalties on
difficult-to-recycle packaging
