Ageing modifiers for polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) foams

Einar® 207 is an efficient ageing modifier and the perfect choice for manufacturers looking for a safe and sustainable alternative for their foam production.

Ageing modifier for high and consistent foam quality

The production of polyolefin foams is a delicate and complex process which requires fine-tuning and attention to detail. The high consistent quality of Einar® 207 guarantees reliable and dependable performance when PE and PP foam is conditioned after manufacture for release of excessive blowing agent.

Even though additives such as ageing modifiers make up a small part of the formulation, legislation and customer demands are pushing for safer and more sustainable solutions all the way around a plastic product. Einar® 207 is food-grade and plant-based all while being highly efficient in applications like polyethylene and polypropylene foams.

Why you need ageing modifiers

Polyethylene and polypropylene foams are very popular and widely used packaging materials. They are resilient, return to form after compression, and provide effective cushioning and security where needed. It is these characteristics, combined with their versatility and customization possibilities, that make them so useful in many applications.

Ageing modifiers are used to ensure the production of high-quality foam and provide crucially important functionality to guarantee a stable foam that will not collapse when products are conditioned to ensure release of excessive blowing agent. An efficient ageing modifier like Einar® 207 can be used across various PE and PP types and will assist in achieving a continuously high-quality foam.
