Enhance PE resins (pellets) quality

Benefits of using PPAs

The new PPAs impact the quality of PE resins as well as the films, including laminating films. Resin producers, compounders, and master batchers are the main potential users of these films. Many film and pipe producers are looking for higher productivity with better quality films.

With these high-quality PPAs, it is feasible to:

Reduce costs
Optimize processing ability/performance balance
Enhance the quality of PE resins (pellets) quality

Fluoropolymers Polymer Processing Aids offer higher efficiency and similar level of performances can be obtained at lower concentrations (up to 50% lower than a traditional PPA) - without compromising on gel formation and die buildup. These benefits are especially appreciated in highly demanding lamination and surface protection applications.

Optimize processing ability/performance balance

The development of high performance PE grades is always a compromise with extrusion ability.

With PPA formulation, new PE grades are designed with the minimum molecular weight to reach the optimum ratio of mechanical properties/ processing behavior, as illustrated on figure 1.

High mechanical performance & acceptable processing ability with PPA formulation

Figure 1: High molecular weight chain provides higher mechanical performances: stress cracking, impact, tear resistance, but reduces processing ability/ Low Mw chain:
improved processing ability but reduced mechanical performances. The addition of PPA eliminates issues at high molecular weight (deteriorated extrusion, etc...)
