Polyglycolic Acid / Polyglycolide (PGA) for Plastic Parts

Einar® 981 by Palsgaard is a plant-based, food-grade polyglycerol ester (PGE) blend of fatty acids derived from RSPO-certified sustainable palm oil. It is an anti-fouling additive for polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) polymerization processes. It is a highly effective, drop-in replacement for ethoxylated amines. It is an unquestionably safe and efficient alternative to sorbitan monooleates that has worldwide regulatory approval.

• It provides high efficiency at low concentrations (100-300 ppm) and ease of use in existing dosing systems.
• It eliminates static build-up during polymerization and prevents fouling of the reactor wall, thus helping PP and PE producers maintain the cooling efficiency of the reactor.
• It is recommended for sensitive applications, including medical devices and baby food containers.
• It is produced in carbon dioxide-neutral facilities.

PURASORB® PG S by Corbion is a glycolide homopolymer GMP grade. It is suitable for all commonly used polymer processing techniques. PURASORB® PG S is primarily used in wound management applications, particularly for sutures.

Kuredux® Polyglycolic Acid by Kureha is a biodegradable and compostable polyglycolic acid (PGA) resin. It exhibits good abrasion resistance, excellent solvent resistance, high strength and good mechanical properties. It also exhibits high aroma and high flavor retention. It possesses excellent toughness & stiffness, excellent gas barrier properties (oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapor) and abuse resistance. Kuredux® Polyglycolic Acid is designed for processing by extrusion, coextrusion, injection molding, polymer blending, thermoforming, printing, lamination and other downstream processing. It is recommended for packaging and industrial applications.
