Cesa™ Aversive Technology for Wire & Cable Protection Masterbatch additives for long-term cable protection against rats and termites, compliant with the EU Biocidal Product Regulation (BPR) PRODUCT BULLETIN PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Cesa™ Aversive Technologies are masterbatches which, when incorporated into cable jackets, provide long-term protection against gnawing by rats and termites. The smell of the additive acts as a deterrent against rats and termites, thereby providing protection against gnawing damage which could potentially affect the operating capacity of the cables. TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS • Helps provide long term cable protection against rats and termites • Enables manufacturers and cable users to be compliant with EU Regulations • Easy to use, direct incorporation in the jacket, no need for additional layer to protect the cable • Helps avoid unplanned service breakdowns with associated high repair costs 1 CA-Sept15-Doc.6.2- Final 2 A masterbatch should be regarded as a biocidal product if it is has a biocidal function.
