Palsgaard will highlight the benefits of food-grade solutions for the polymer industry at K 2019.
Palsgaard offers additives for a wide range of polymer applications. All the solutions in the company’s Einar range are food-grade, food-approved and sourced from sustainably produced vegetable oils. This makes them completely safe, overcoming growing consumer concerns about harmful additives in plastics and packaging.

Additionally, rigorous testing has shown that Einar products perform as well as, or better than, fossil-based alternatives. Solutions on show at K 2019 will include Anti-fogs, including Einar 1122, a new water-based solvent-free dispersion of food-grade additives. Ideal for stretched polyolefin and polyester films, it delivers anti-fogging performance at low coating concentrations and compares well with competing products.
Christina Normann Christensen, Product and Application Manager, said: “Safety and sustainability are now two of the most important concerns for the polymer industry. The good news, both for business and the environment, is that these challenges can be addressed by using plant-based, food-grade solutions. At K 2019 we’ll be demonstrating that anti-fogs, anti-statics and dispersing aids can be safe enough to eat. Furthermore, using food-grade solutions doesn’t mean sacrificing on quality – in fact they commonly outperform fossil-based alternatives.”
Anti-statics, including Einar 601, an amine-free solution for anti-static protection in PE applications, will also be on show alongside mould release solutions for PP applications, dispersing aids, and coating additive blends for EPS, including Einar 543 and Einar 544, which offer a convenient way of applying EPS coatings.
These all-in-one solutions eliminate the need to handle several different individual products. The complete coating formulation is an easy-to-use, pre-blended formulation offering easy dosing and accuracy, better and faster handling, and options for additive inventory optimisation.
As well as being highly efficient and cost-effective, all the products are produced in Palsgaard’s CO2-neutral facilities.
