Anti-scratch

Anti-scratch additives are proving ever-more popular due to the increasing need for more durable and re-usable plastics. Anti-scratch additives reduce the visibility of scratches and scuffs on the surface, resulting in an improved look and an increased lifetime of the part.

Anti-static

Anti-static agents are added to polymers to provide static protection by lowering the resistivity of the material. Cargill’s anti-static product range offers migrating and permanent solutions in a range of physical forms and longevity to provide the required static control for different materials and applications.

The Ionphase™ range of Inherently Dissipative Polymers (IDP), also known as permanent anti-stats or ion conductive polymers, reduce the resistivity of the polymer providing control and safety for static related issues.

Cargill’s Atmer™ anti-static additives are used in applications where static protection is needed such as food and beverage and cosmetics packaging to prevent dust attraction that can affect the performance or appearance of the parts.

Plasticization

​Plasticization additives include both monomeric and polymeric plasticizers that work to increase the plasticity or fluidity of a polymer. Plasticizers are particularly useful in PVC, but can be used in other polymers such as synthetic rubbers, synthetic rubber derivatives, and other polar polymers such as polystyrene and ABS.

Slip

Slip additives are products which can be added to polymers to control friction. They are added directly into the polymer during the extrusion process and migrate to the surface as the polymer cools, allowing a solid lubricating layer to form.

Torque release

Our torque release additives reduce friction in plastic caps and closures to allow easier application and removal of the part. These bio-based, high stability additives ensure more efficient processing in a range of packaging applications. Our additives are recommended for use at very low addition levels and are recommended to be dosed via a masterbatch or compound.
