Established in 1865, Cargill is a global food, agricultural, financial, and industrial products business, with 155,000 employees across 70 countries. It has been chosen as a suitable buyer because it has a distinguished history and strong values and under its ownership, PTIC will benefit from further investment which will enable the business and employees to capture new growth opportunities and flourish.
Cargill’s Ionphase™ products are a family of inherently dissipative polymers (IDPs) used as an internal anti-static polymer additive. Plastic products formulated with Ionphase™ have immediate and permanent static dissipative properties with excellent functionality in low humidity environments. Compared to traditional migratory small molecule chemistry, Ionphase™ products improve safety and anti-static performance by:
• Dissipating charges rapidly and efficiently
• Preventing risk of explosion and dust build-up with no need for grounding or conditioning time
• Imparting permanent static dissipative properties throughout the life cycle of the polymer article
• Improving processing
• Imparting no sticky or greasy surfaces, and preventing contamination of material and packaged goods due to the non-migratory polymeric nature
Ionphase™ technology can be utilized in a wide range of polymers and end-use markets, which include electronics and semiconductors, chemicals, food, automotive, and consumer appliances.

Standard slip additives, such as erucamide, oleamide and behenamide are commonly used in many plastics applications, including packaging, automotive and high value plastics. These additives bring many benefits in processing and end-use, including high, fast or controlled slip, and anti-block.
However, some of these standard additives contain double bonds which cause the additive to be prone to oxidative breakdown, resulting in poor stability. Poor oxidative stability can lead to issues in the final part over time or when subjected to stressed conditions such as high temperature or prolonged exposure to UV light.
Incroslip SL delivers the ultimate in high stability while also delivering optimized slip performance even in the
most challenging applications.
·• High and long-lasting slip performance
·• Excellent color and oxidative stability
·• Improved organoleptic properties
·• Stable in applications exposed to UV light
·• Low visible bloom
• Scratch and scuff resistance
