Anti-scratch Agents

Based on 148 products - Last update on the Jun 26, 2025

Anti-scratch agents are used in plastics to enhance surface durability and maintain a smooth, pristine appearance. These agents function by reducing the visibility of scratches and scuffs, often through controlled migration to the polymer surface, which lowers friction and prevents damage. Key features include improved scratch resistance, reduced scratch whitening, and enhanced surface smoothness. Anti-scratch agents are particularly suitable for applications in automotive interiors, high-end electronic devices, and household appliances.

Alternatives to anti-scratch agents include slip additives. A notable trend in the industry is the increasing demand for durable and reusable plastics, driving the development of advanced anti-scratch technologies. Anti-scratch agents are available in various sub-types, such as fluoropolymer-based and siloxane-based additives.

IncroMax™ PS

by Cargill

IncroMax™ PS by Cargill acts as a processing aid and anti-scratch agent for styrenics. It provides mold release, scuff- and scratch resistance and surface quality enhancement. It migrates to the surface of the polymer where it forms a thin lubricating layer, which reduces the coefficient of friction between surfaces and reduces unwanted adhesion. <br> <ul style="padding-left: 40px;"><li>It offers improved de-nesting and packing of preforms.</li> <li>It has a vegetable origin and can be dispersed evenly through the polymer in melt phase.</li> <li>It is easy to process and produces fewer rejected parts and less waste.</li> <li> It improves output rate, reduces temperature and extruder speeds in processing.</li> <li>IncroMax™ PS is suitable for use in PMMA and clear/opaque HIPS and GPPS.</li> <li>It is non-toxic and has no adverse effects on the physical properties of the polymer and reduces manufacturing noise.</li> <li>It is recommended for automotive-, houseware- and furniture plastics, cosmetics jars and bottles, food containers, trays, film production, and injection molding applications.</li> <li>It has a shelf life of 365 days.</li></ul>
