Palsgaard A/S, a global leader in plant-based polymer additives, has introduced Einar® 987 — a revolutionary anti-fouling additive developed to improve the sustainability and safety of polypropylene and polyethylene polymerisation processes.
Formulated from renewable raw materials, Einar® 987 is a food-grade, non-toxic polyglycerol ester (PGE) blend derived from fatty acids in vegetable oils. Designed to replace traditional ethoxylated amine (EA) additives, it offers a drop-in, regulatory-compliant alternative that aligns with increasing industry demands for safer and more sustainable production practices.
“Polyolefin resin producers stand to benefit directly from this technology, as its anti-static properties help prevent polymer powder from clinging to reactor walls during polymerisation,” said Laura Juhl, Application Manager, Bio-Speciality Additives at Palsgaard. “This leads to more stable reaction temperatures, higher production efficiency, and consistent product quality.”
Key Advantages of Einar® 987:
- Food-contact approved and non-toxic
- Made from 100% renewable, plant-based materials
- Effective at low dosages of 100–300 ppm
- Enhances catalyst longevity and process stability
- Matches or exceeds the performance of incumbent EA additives
- Supports regulatory compliance and green chemistry goals
Palsgaard leveraged decades of expertise in anti-static and food-safe chemistries to develop Einar® 987, ensuring it meets the high-performance requirements of modern resin production while eliminating the health and environmental concerns associated with amine-based solutions.
Multiple successful trials with polyolefin resin producers have already validated the additive’s performance, and Palsgaard’s technical team is available to support further evaluations and seamless integration into existing production lines.
