Everglide^®

This Ultra High Molecular Weight Siloxane technology gives users a unique set of processing benefits, ranging from thermal and COF stability, increased scratch and mar resistance, and excellent print and paint adhesion.
Traditional additives such as Erucimides “bleed out” and require overengineered formulations – Everglide^® is permanent, non-migratory and can achieve better processing with lower dosage.
Everglide^® products are PFOA free and a perfect solution for those looking to replace traditional fluoro processing aids.

Application Examples

PFAS Free Lubricant – Everglide^®

PFAS processing aids are labeled ‘forever chemicals’ due to the fact they don’t break down over time. Paired with studies showing adverse health effects, there is a growing market movement away from PFAS-based processing aids. How2Recycle announced in December 2021 that packaging containing PFAS will now be assigned the “Not Yet Recycled” How2Recycle label.
Mitsui is proud to offer Everglide, a PFAS-free processing aid that users can find perform well when compared with traditional fluoro-materials. With Everglide^®, film producers will achieve excellent melt processability, print adhesion, and a stable COF over a broad temperature range, allowing faster speeds on lines. Mitsui will work with you to fine-tune your additive approach to get the most out of your film production while moving away from traditional PFAS PPAs.

BioBased Lubricant – Everglide^®

Looking for a processing aid with roots in renewable resources? Everglide^® Performance Series is a collection of formulated lubricant masterbatches based on green/renewable resource additive technology. Designed with performance in mind, Everglide^® PS gives users a chance to match performance of a standard Everglide^® material at an additional cost savings. For those looking to make an injection molded product, just 2% dosage of Everglide^® PS can improve COF in processing and abrasion resistance of final product.
