Features & Benefits
- Materials Features
- Product Performance
- The basic nature of Ceasit AV FI VEG-US makes it an effective acid scavenger for polyolefin resin production and processing.
- Low ash content and good dispersibility make the product especially suited for polyolefin film and fiber extrusion processes where the finest extruder screen packs are used.
- High apparent density and relatively large average particle size helps minimize dust exposure and housekeeping problems in the workplace.
- The free-flowing nature prevents problems with bridging and caking while facilitating use in virtually any type of bulk handling or conveying and automated weighing and metering systems.
- Key Features
- CEASIT AV FI VEG is produced from a high quality certified vegetable derived fatty acid for polymer applications requiring a free flowing and low dusting processing aid with excellent handling and feeding characteristics.
