•  Hiformer™ Liquid Masterbatches: offer a unique combination of chemistry, engineering, and customizable colorant and additive solutions for the specific needs of the application that encourages top performance, flexibility, and sustainability for packaging that can help reduce overall carbon footprint
• Cesa™ Anti-Fog Additives: created to help food packaging and horticultural films maintain clarity and prevent moisture buildup in hot and cold fog conditions and in mono and multilayer film, limiting the growth of bacteria and fungi to keep food fresh. Provides an eco-conscious solution that allows consumers to see through the packaging to observe the quality of content while improving the hygiene of food packaging
• Cesa™ WithStand™ Antimicrobial Additives: can reduce bacterial, mold, and fungal growth on the surface of packaging products. They can also help to reduce odor, staining, discoloration, loss of mechanical properties, and other detrimental effects of microbe growth, reducing overall food and packaging waste to preserve and protect natural resources
