Palsgaard A/S will showcase new and existing polymer additives at K 2025 with a focus on plant-based, food-grade chemistry and global regulatory compliance. The company positions its portfolio for resin producers and converters seeking consistent processing performance together with documented safety and responsible sourcing.
The highlight of the presentation is Einar 987, an anti-fouling additive developed from renewable vegetable oils. According to Palsgaard, the product is designed as a drop-in replacement for ethoxylated amines, is food-contact approved, and is effective at low dosage levels of 100 to 300 ppm. The company states that it provides comparable reactor efficiency and product quality while avoiding legacy substances of concern, aligning with anticipated changes in chemical safety requirements.
Alongside Einar 987, Palsgaard will feature anti-static and anti-fog solutions from the Einar portfolio. Anti-static grades such as Einar 601 and Einar 608 PL are intended to reduce dust attraction, control static build-up, and improve processing efficiency in applications based on PE, PP, EVA, PLA, PA, and PVC. Anti-fog grades such as Einar 618 and Einar 422 are formulated to keep food packaging clear under hot and cold storage conditions, which can help extend shelf life and reduce food waste.
Laura Juhl, Application Manager of Palsgaard’s Bio-speciality Additives, said: "Einar 987 was designed to balance performance with safety. It not only helps resin producers maintain stable reactor performance and consistent product quality, but also provides a safer, food-contact compliant alternative to conventional chemistries. That combination gives customers real confidence in the future of their production."
Ulrik Aunskjær, Director at Palsgaard, added: "For more than 100 years, responsibility has been part of our DNA. Our goal is to be a trusted partner that gives customers peace of mind. And this is not just through innovative, plant-based additives like Einar 987, but also through the long-term commitments we make to safety, compliance, and sustainability across the value chain."
Palsgaard notes that its approach builds on more than a century of activity in emulsifiers and polymer additives. The company invented a plant-based emulsifier in 1917 and today employs around 850 people across 20 countries. Production facilities are located in Denmark, the Netherlands, and Malaysia, with ongoing capacity expansions to support global markets.
