Anti-static additives for polypropylene (PP) foams

Palsgaard's Einar® series of bio-based and food-grade anti-static additives for PP foam applications makes it easy for manufacturers to switch to more sustainable choices without affecting the quality of their products.

Try the bio-based, food-grade anti-stat solution in your PP foams

Einar® 401 is a highly effective anti-static additive, which enables safe packaging of electronic goods with PP foams. The unique combination of glycerol esters of selected fatty acids enables the highest performance level, which offers a replacement of anti-static chemicals of concern like ethoxylated amines and amides.

Einar® 401 has no adverse effect on our recommended ageing modifier Einar® 201 and thereby the structure of the foam.

Key features

Highly effective plant-based replacement for anti-static ethoxylated amines and amides
A distilled monoglyceride made from fatty acids and glycerol
An internal anti-static additive for additive masterbatches based on polyolefins
Available in pellet form
Worldwide regulatory approval for food contact
Produced in CO2-neutral factories

Why you need anti-static additives for your PP foams

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 it is needed. It is these characteristics, combined with their versatility and customization possibilities, that make them so useful in many applications.

Many PP foam applications require anti-static properties. This is especially the case for packaging of sensitive electronics, for which anti-static properties are crucial to protect them from electric charges. Here optimised and highly effective anti-static additives are required.
