By adding Palsgaard’s patented, liquid emulsifier-based dispersing aid, colour masterbatch manufacturers can achieve a safer production process and much better distribution of colour pigments. In fact, the emulsifier is so efficient that pigment loadings can be significantly reduced while still delivering the desired colour strength, allowing considerable cost-savings as well as a more sustainable polymer profile. As an added benefit, colour masterbatch producers will also be able to improve production processes, since the equipment becomes much easier to clean when switching to other colours. Just as Palsgaard offers food manufacturers the possibility to have new products tested and developed in the company’s global application centers, so can polymer producers have their products tested with Palsgaard’s anti-fogging and anti-static agents as well as colour dispersing aids in the company’s large scale polymer application center. SUSTAINABLE IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE “Our products are even produced in a sustainable manner,” Bjarne Nielsen elaborates. “Palsgaard has a declared goal to achieve CO2-neutrality for all our production sites around the world, and we reached a major milestone last year, when our plants in Denmark and Mexico became CO2-neutral.” The company also sources sustainable raw materials and is a frontrunner in the food industry when it comes to using RSPOcertified segregated palm oil in its emulsifiers, a practice that also extends to its polymer additives. For plastics manufacturers and their polyolefin suppliers, working with a partner such as Palsgaard can open a door into a profitable future, introducing a wide variety of new products and product variations that find favour with today’s producers and consumers. In addition, with its focus on absolute safety, the company will continue to provide products that are a perfect fit for the current green, sustainable and safe agenda in polymer functional agents. “We are investing heavily in further upgrades to our technology and lab facilities to meet customer needs and develop fruitful partnerships with them,” Bjarne Nielsen explains. “We strive to generate projects where we can be a valuable business partner for our customers, providing them with products of the highest possible efficiency, performance, safety and sustainability.” For more information on the use of emulsifiers in plastic packaging, please visit polymers.palsgaard. com or contact Business Development Manager Bjarne Nielsen via bjn@palsgaard.dk 3
