Chemical Containment
See chemical resistance. Chemical containment is only possible with chemical resistance.

Chemical Resistance
The ability of a substance to endure itself from chemical attack for a specific period.  

Chill Roll
equipment designed to cool the extrusion melt

Coat Weight
the dry or wet weight in which a primer or coating should be applied 

Coating
MICA coatings are discrete layers coated onto a substrate that provide properties such as scuff or scratch resistance, color, gloss, soft-touch, barrier, or adhesion. They may exist on the surface of the structure but may also be buried in a structure. In the case they are buried in a structure, they adhere by sealing to themselves or another material.

Coefficient of Friction (COF)
the measure of slip between two surfaces; can be face-to-face or adhesive to stainless steel. 

Commercially Compostable
If a material is labeled as commercially compostable, it means it can biodegrade in a controlled environment, such as a municipal or industrial composting facility. 

Crosslinker
a molecule that helps to connect polymer chains. Crosslinkers can be added to some MICA products to improve performance or specific properties, such as water resistance.
