Incroflo: the clear FPPA alternative
Boost processing efficiency with Cargill™ Incroflo™ additives
Cargill’s Incroflo™ processing aid additives enhance polymer melt flow and extrudability in polyolefins without relying on per- or polyfluorinated substances (PFAS). As global regulations increase, Incroflo is the high-performing replacement for traditional fluorinated polymer processing aids (FPPAs), supporting manufacturers in navigating evolving compliance landscapes. With Incroflo, producers can continue production without disruption—achieving smoother surface quality, clearer films, and higher output.

Performance without compromise with Incroflo™ P50
Incroflo™ P50 additive enables film convertors to meet today’s expectations for PPA compliance while improving core processing outcomes.
Improve processing of polymers, including extrusion
Reduce melt fracture
Increase output
Reduce die build up
The difference is clear
The visible impact of smoother flow and reduced melt fracture
Melt fracture—including sharkskin—doesn't just affect film appearance. It slows throughput, disrupts flow, and increases rework. With Cargill Incroflo P50 as an internal additive, die surfaces are lubricated to quickly achieve clear, hassle-free films.
FPPAs under pressure: the case for alternatives
For years, FPPAs have helped producers of LLDPE film fight melt fracture, improve film clarity, and keep extrusion lines running efficiently during polyolefin extrusion. But many of these additives fall into the PFAS (often called “forever chemicals”) category—drawing regulatory and environmental scrutiny. The result: a once-standard additive now puts your business at risk.
