Polymer Processing Aid Masterbatch

Polymer Processing Aid (PPA) is a fluoropolymers-based additives. It is used in polymer formulation to improve processing efficiency and quality of polymeric compounds. When added into polyethene (PE) materials, it increases productivity and quality of PE materials when extruded. During the extrusion process for PE films or tubes, the molten polymers flow with a higher speed in the middle of the extruder than on the sides. The difference in speed can lead to melt fracture, die build up or polymer degradation that causes gel and black spots at the exit of the extruder.
