Additives

Processing-aid additive

Processing-aid additive is added into formula to reduce the friction between the surface of plastic and processing equipment, thus keeping the manufacturing running more smoothly as well as improving end-products’ quality.

Plastics are the optimal materials for many industries. However, melting or processing these plastics at extremely high throughputs is hard. Without the help of polymer processing aids, some manufacturing processes can result in worn-out machines or bad-quality final products.

Processing-aid additive is added to the polymer to lower the friction between plastics and machines during production. It helps enhance the melting, processability, and handling of high molecular weight plastics without any technical effect on products.

Polymer processing aids have a wide range of applications, including blown film, extrusion, and injection molding. Thanks to processing-aid additives, thermoplastic resins can be extruded more effectively.

They can add aesthetic qualities by reducing flow traces and die lines, resulting in glossy, transparent products.
