Abstract
On January 12, 2024, Tosaf, a globally active manufacturer of free additives, compounds, and color masterbatches for the plastics industry, announced it had developed processing aids for the extrusion of polyolefins that do not contain fluoroelastomers. They can reportedly be used without restriction in place of conventional products currently affected by the PFAS debate. They are claimed to be suitable for a wide range of film applications, and they meet the requirements of the FDA and EFSA for use in contact with food. While AP9709PE EU provides enhanced rheological properties, AP9711PE EU is said to be the grade of choice if the focus is on optical properties, including clarity and haze.
