Cesa™ WithStand™ SX Low Haze Antimicrobial Additives Now Available for Clear Plastic Applications

#Avient Corporation, an innovator of materials solutions, today announced the availability of Cesa™ WithStand™ SX Low Haze #Antimicrobial Additives for clear polycarbonate and plexiglass applications. This patent-pending next-generation formula is especially useful for products incorporating recycled resin.

Cesa WithStand SX additives can help preserve visual clarity and aesthetics in finished plastic parts while offering protection against bacterial, mold, and fungal growth. By limiting microbial growth in plastic parts, this additive can reduce unwanted odor, staining, and discoloration, helping the plastic parts maintain a “like new” look for an extended period.

“Our patent-pending formulation solves a long-standing challenge,” said Felipe Reichert, Global Marketing Director for Color, Additives, and Inks at Avient. “Traditional antimicrobials often cause opacity or hazing in #polycarbonate or acrylic. This is especially true in applications using recycled content. Cesa WithStand SX, however, helps maintain clarity and protects against haze.”

Cesa WithStand SX additives can be used in various processes, including extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, and thermoforming. It is currently available in the U.S. and Canada.
