Mastering science to deliver innovative solutions

As a company of innovation it is our ambition to discover new dimensions in polymer additives. We are now developing antifog additives that improve hot and cold fog applications of PP, PE and other plastic food packaging films. In addition, we focus on easy to use antifog additives that improve durability of agricultural films.

Our antifog additives offer the solution to problems related to the formation of water droplets on plastic films. Antifog additives are added to the polymer in the extru-sion process, migrating to the polymer surface over time and giving the required effect through reduction of the surface tension of the water droplets. At the point of condensation a uniform, transparent water-layer is formed preserving film transparency. Antifog additives improve light-transmission and hence crop-growth in green houses. In food packaging antifog additives enhance product appeal and shelf life. Armofog 151-XE35One of our latest products introduced to the market is Armofog 151-XE35, a highly concentrated antifog additive for use in food packaging films. Armofog 151-XE35 offers you savings in operational time and costs. This concentrate is easy to use while giving all of the advantages of pure Armofog 151.

Features:• Pellet form• Non-caking, even in hot climates• Food approved• Hot and cold fog applications But our journey in antifogging doesn’t stop with Armofog 151-XE35. We are committed to bridging the gap between traditional antifog additives and our customers’ needs for easy to use products that improve antifog performance of their films. Insight into our customers’ needsThe need for new antifog additives arises from the funda-mental problem that exists with traditional agricultural films. Antifog performance is not durable enough. The main challenge in food packaging films is to develop antifog additives that perform well in both hot and cold fog applications. What also challenges us is to under-stand the interaction with other additives which may decrease film performance over time. Not to forget processing parameters that can have a negative impact on antifog performance. Using synergies with AkzoNobel’s polymer and surface chemistry strengths we have developed significant knowledge in this field. This, coupled with our thorough understanding of polymer production and processing is the basis for the development of our innovative antifog additives. Designed with you in mind.

Strong R&D capabilitiesHow can you be assured that your films maintain an optimal antifog performance over time? The answer is that we have a dedicated team of researchers that master science to deliver innovative solutions. They perform research, product and process development and provide technical support in order to translate market needs into new products. And before bringing our antifog additives to the market we test them over and over again; in our state of the art R&D laboratory or by working closely with our industry partners. Sharing our expertiseWe believe in creating close partnerships with our customers to be able to provide you with the techno-logical answers you need. Sharing our rich experience in polymer additives is one of the most important and valuable resources we offer.
