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 Copyright © 2024, Avient Corporation.
