Caps and Closures 

Why Use Additives in Caps & Closures?

Slip, torque and mold release additives allow plastic screw caps and closures to be produced and used more efficiently. Our torque release additives not only offer processors and end-users flexibility, performance and better quality plastics as expected, they also provide exceptional stability with reduced odour and colour degradation.

Key benefits

• High slip performance with improved stability
• High temperature performance
• Low taste
• Low odour

Standard torque release additives can demonstrate poor oxidative stability that can result in poor odour, taste and taint. This can have a huge impact on the finished article, for example bottled water.

Our range of highly stable additives have been shown to significantly reduce odour and taste issues in more challenging environments, such as in warmer climates or when exposure to UV light.

In particular, Incroslip SL, is extremely stable and therefore less prone to oxidation. This can add value in caps and closure applications such as water bottle caps where taste and odour is critical.
