Ampacet PFAS-Free Polymer Processing Aid Masterbatches help you comply with new Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation

In this edition of the Spotlight, Ampacet explains how its portfolio of PFAS-free Polymer Processing Aids (PPA) comply with global food regulations and can be used for film and extrusion processing applications.

Ampacet offers a comprehensive portfolio of PFAS-free Polymer Processing Aids (PPA), providing an effective alternative to conventional fluorinated PPA masterbatches. These solutions are designed for various processing applications including oriented and non-oriented films, pipe extrusion, and cable extrusion, enabling the production of a wide range of end-use products.

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been identified as potential health hazards. In response, the newly adopted Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) was published in the European Official Journal on January 22, 2025, setting an official deadline of August 12, 2026, for restricting PFAS in food packaging. As regulatory restrictions on PFAS continue to expand, it is crucial to adopt PFAS-free alternatives that comply with global food contact regulations.

Ampacet’s PFAS-free PPA additives offer the same benefits as fluorinated PPAs, including the elimination of melt fracture, reduced die build-up for minimized downtime, and improved throughput. Additionally, they do not interfere with surface treatments such as printing and lamination and have no impact on sealing performance.
