osaf, a producer of packaging additives (Israel), creates the

packaging of tomorrow with special additives, designed to

improve the freshness of packed food, prolong the shelf life of

sensitive products and minimize food waste.

Tosaf’s humidity absorbers are pioneering moisture barriers

that transform any standard multilayered PE packaging into

active packaging with powerful humidity absorption capabili-

ties. Tosaf’s MBs address both ambient and headspace humi-

dity, simultaneously boosting the impermeability of the

packaging and its internal absorption.

Oxygen, on which all living things depend, is also what makes

food turn rancid. Tosaf's innovative oxygen barrier compound

enables to obtain high barrier properties even in mere three-

layer packaging. Since even high barrier films only reduce per-

meability (rather than eliminating it), Tosaf’s oxygen absorber

MB is a game changer. This additive is able to simultaneously

boost packaging impermeability and absorb headspace humi-

dity inside the package. Tosaf is committed to reducing food

waste worldwide – a primary cause of which is the premature

ripening of post-harvest fruits and vegetables due to ethylene

release. To maintain produce quality in storage, during ship-

ping, and at the point of sale, Tosaf has engineered an ethy-

lene control MB. This packaging additive regulates ripening,

and can be integrated into plastic packaging using conventio-

nal extrusion technologies.

t K 2016, BrüggemannChemical will showcase its latest

developments in the field of additives.

They are intended not only to extend the range of applications

but also to contribute to greater cost efficiency during plastics

conversion. Polyamide compounders will benefit from a new

copper complex based heat stabilizer for a wide temperature

range, a flow enhancer, a nucleation agent for high proces-

sing temperatures, and a "chain-cutter" for recycling. New

products in the field of AP-NYLON

(anionically polymerized

cast polyamides) include a particularly efficient heat stabilizer,

a modifier to increase the impact strength, and a retarding ac-

tivator. The rubber industry can look forward to a new ZnO

activator that will open up possibilities for greater environ-

mental compatibility, while the company's new, fully equip-

ped Technical Center will provide the industry with previously

unknown opportunities for innovation.

New developments with additives

for PA injection molding and extrusion types

- BRÜGGOLEN

TP-H1606 is a new non-discoloring copper

complex based heat stabilizer for polyamides with significantly

improved long-term stabilization over a broad temperatu-

range. This high performance antioxidant is a non-dusting

blend which is easy to handle and process and allows an im-

proved alternative to phenolicbased stabilizer blends as it

greatly extends the exposure time especially in the low to me-

dium temperature range, where the phenolic blends have re-

presented the industry standard.

- With the new flow enhancer BRÜGGOLEN

TP-P1507 com-

pounders can improve the processability of glass filled polya-

mides while maintaining very good mechanical properties. The

easy flow properties via BRÜGGOLEN

TP-P1507 enable their

customers to attain advantages such as shorter cycle times,

In Tosaf’s vision, a smart self-regulating package will also pre-

serve optimal conditions for the packed items after opening

and reclosing. Tosaf’s highly effective re-closable compound

allows active packaging to be more consumer-friendly. Com-

bining it with Tosaf's other special additives enables the pak-

kage to retain its internal environment for multiple uses.
