Palsgaard, a plant-based emulsifier and polymer additives company, will present its latest innovations in safe and responsible chemistry at K 2025 (Hall 7, Level 1, Stand C15). Visitors will discover how Palsgaard’s food-grade, plant-based additives offer resin producers and converters both high performance and the reassurance of worldwide regulatory compliance.
At the heart of this year’s showcase is Einar 987, a new anti-fouling additive developed from renewable vegetable oils. Designed as a drop-in replacement for ethoxylated amines, Einar 987 is food-contact approved, effective at low dosage levels (100–300 ppm), and delivers the same reactor efficiency and product quality while eliminating toxic legacies. It offers resin makers an alternative solution that aligns with anticipated changes in chemical safety requirements.
Alongside Einar 987, Palsgaard will highlight its portfolio of safe polymer additives, including:
Anti-static solutions such as Einar 601 and Einar 608 PL – proven to reduce dust attraction, control static build-up, and improve processing efficiency across PE, PP, EVA, PLA, PA, and PVC applications.
Anti-fog solutions such as Einar 618 and Einar 422 – designed to keep food packaging clear under hot and cold storage conditions, helping extend shelf life and reduce food waste.
Together, these additives demonstrate how Palsgaard supports converters, resin producers, and brand owners in meeting performance, safety, and sustainability goals without compromise.
“Einar 987 was designed to balance performance with safety,” said Laura Juhl, application manager of Palsgaard’s Bio-speciality Additives. “It not only helps resin producers maintain stable reactor performance and consistent product quality, but also provides a safer, food-contact compliant alternative to conventional chemistries. That combination gives customers real confidence in the future of their production.”
“For more than 100 years, responsibility has been part of our DNA,” added Ulrik Aunskjær, director at Palsgaard. “Our goal is to be a trusted partner that gives customers peace of mind. And this is not just through innovative, plant-based additives like Einar 987, but also through the long-term commitments we make to safety, compliance, and sustainability across the value chain.”
Palsgaard’s commitment to innovation builds on more than a century of heritage. Since inventing the world’s first plant-based emulsifier in 1917, the company has been guided by the values of responsibility, loyalty, and commitment. Today, with 850 employees across 20 countries and expanding production facilities in Denmark, the Netherlands, and Malaysia, Palsgaard remains a trusted partner in developing safer, more sustainable polymer solutions for global markets.
