Key Development:

United States: Recent Polymer Processing Aid Developments

✅ In October 2025, Cargill introduced IncrofloTM P50 additive, a next‐generation polymer processing aid for polyolefins that enhances melt flow, surface smoothness, and extrudability without added halogens, marking a shift toward more eco‐friendly processing solutions.

✅ In September 2025, Dow launched DOWSIL 5‐1050 Polymer Processing Aid, a silicone‐based, fluoropolymer‐free PPA designed for film packaging extrusion, reducing melt fracture and die buildup while improving surface quality and regulatory compliance.

✅ In September 2025, there is an increasing adoption of PFAS‐free polymer processing aids across U.S. extrusion operations, driven by tightening environmental regulations and customer demand for safer packaging materials.

✅ In September 2025, major chemical producers including Dow noted strong interest from converters for fluoropolymer‐free masterbatches that support food‐contact compliance and smoother film extrusions accelerating the transition away from legacy PPAs.

Japan: Recent Polymer Processing Aid Developments

✅ In December 2025, Mitsui Chemicals, Idemitsu Kosan, and Sumitomo Chemical concluded a definitive agreement to integrate their polyolefin production businesses - a strategic move expected to strengthen Japan's domestic supply chain for polymer materials and related processing aids.

✅ In December 2025, the Asian‐Australasian Workshop on Polymer Processing (AWPP 2025) was scheduled to be held in Kanazawa, Japan (Dec 1-4), bringing together polymer engineers and researchers to exchange technical insights that include polymer additives and processing aid innovations.

✅ In September 2025, Mitsui Chemicals unveiled upcoming PFAS‐ and PTFE‐free polymer processing aid technologies that it will showcase at the K 2025 trade fair, reflecting Japan's shift toward more sustainable additive systems in plastics extrusion and film processing.

✅ In September 2025, Japan continued adapting to PFAS regulatory trends (with domestic PFAS restrictions in effect), driving additive makers and converters to accelerate development and adoption of PFAS‐free PPAs and related sustainable processing aids across extrusion and film applications.
