This interview with Mathijs Preenen from Kisuma Chemicals B.V., recorded during the EMG Pre-K media event in Rotterdam, introduces Setogem RD, an innovative dual-function nucleating and acid scavenging agent for polypropylene (PP). The new additive is designed to simplify formulations while enhancing both performance and sustainability.

Setogem RD improves crystallization behavior, resulting in polypropylene with greater stiffness, impact resistance, and isotropic shrinkage. At the same time, it provides outstanding acid scavenging properties without migration or blooming, even at very low dosage levels - typically just 200 to 300 ppm. Its zinc-free and palm-free composition contributes to a lower carbon footprint and helps meet increasingly strict regulatory and environmental standards.

The product is already approved for food contact applications in the EU, Switzerland, Brazil, and Japan, with FDA approval expected later in 2025. A safer alternative to talc and sodium benzoate, Setogem RD is also being adopted by major converters looking to eliminate exposure to talc and reduce CO₂ emissions.

Visitors will be able to explore this breakthrough solution at K 2025 in Düsseldorf, where Kisuma will be exhibiting in Hall 8B, Booth H31.
