They can be used in the extrusion of polyethylene
or polypropylene to reduce the friction between the
molten polymer and metal, enabling the polymers
to be extruded without melt fracture.
These non-PFAS process aids work by migrating
to the metal surface and reducing friction in
the extruder and at the die.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Reduces melt fracture leading to fast time
to clear
• Reduces die buildup
• Improves process efficiency
• Retains ability to seal and print
• Available in both solid and liquid
• Offers low concentration efficiency
• Reduces power requirements
• Does not interact with other additives
APPLICATIONS
• Blown film
• Profile extrusion
• Tubing and pipe extrusion
• Wire and cable applications
• Extruded sheet
• Applications in both virgin resin and PCR

PROCESSING CONDITIONS
Introduction
This section describes general processing guidelines for GLS TPEs.
Injection Speed
If possible, profile the injection speed to fill the runner system rapidly and then slow
down after the material starts flowing through the gate and into the cavity.
If the injection unit is
equipped with a profiled pack and hold phase, it can be used to reduce the velocity and
pressure to the runner.
