Discover Einar® anti-static additives for PP films

Anti-static additives only make up a small part of the final film, but they can make a significant difference in the visual appearance and handling of films. Choosing the right additive is, therefore, extremely important in order to achieve an efficient and prolonged anti-static effect.

The anti-static additives in the Einar® line are a sustainable and safe alternative to everything from GMS to ethoxylated amines.

Thanks to our large-scale application centre in Denmark, we can help you test the performance of our Einar® products and compare them to your current additives. In this way, you can see how they can match or improve the quality of your products.

Einar® for PP anti-stat applications

The Einar® anti-static additives have been specifically developed for optimised performance across all PP grades. Rivalling the performance of current industry standards such as ethoxylated amine and amides, our anti-static additives are efficient and safe alternatives. Inherently food-grade and 100% plant-based, they eliminate any food safety concerns.

In PP films, the anti-static additive must be particularly effective to give the desired performance and even here selected Einar® products meet the demands. This results from targeted research and development where tailored fatty acid esters come together to provide highly efficient short- and long-term anti-stat effects to alleviate static charge build-up during production and subsequent handling without affecting transparency or sealing properties.

Our recommendations for PP films include

EINAR® 411

Einar® 411 is an internal anti-static additive for additive masterbatches based on polypropylene. It's made from an optimised blend of mono- and diglycerides with selected fatty acid profiles, made from vegetable oils. This plant-based, food-grade anti-static additive is custom-designed for use in all PP grades.

As a long-lasting anti-static additive Einar® 411 is the perfect alternative to ethoxylated amine and amides as it is able to match or exceed these while being safe enough to eat. This optimised anti-stat has been developed specifically for challenging applications such as PP film. Einar® 411 comes in pellet form and has worldwide regulatory approval for food-contact applications.

EINAR® 204

Einar® 204 is an internal anti-static additive for additive masterbatches based on polypropylene. It is made from fatty acids and glycerol, based on a blend of palm and rapeseed. This high-quality GMS offers basic anti-static performance in various PP grades which is beneficial during production and initial handling. Einar® 204 comes in pellet, powder and liquid form and has worldwide regulatory approval for food-contact applications.
