PFAS free polymer processing additives PPA

PFAS-free PPA is a Polymer Processing Aid that does not contain perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). These alternatives, like traditional fluoro-based PPAs, improve plastic processing by reducing melt fracture and die buildup, but are designed to avoid the potential health hazards and regulatory concerns associated with PFAS. PFAS-free PPAs support sustainability goals by providing eco-friendly solutions for applications such as food packaging and trash bags, while meeting regulatory compliance for food contact and other uses.  

Our PFAS free PPA 5990 is the alternative of fluropolymer processing aids PPA in the field of films,artifical grass,pipes and cables.

What are PPAs and Why are PFAS-Free Alternatives Needed?

Polymer Processing Aids (PPAs) are additives that help make polymers easier to process, especially during extrusion.

Traditional PPAs often contain fluoropolymers, which are a type of PFAS.

PFAS are chemicals that are persistent in the environment and have been linked to various health issues, including carcinogenic effects and reproductive toxicity. 

Regulatory Pressure is increasing globally to ban or restrict the use of PFAS, making PFAS-free alternatives necessary for companies to meet compliance and sustainability goals.

Benefits of PFAS-Free PPAs

Improved Processing: 

Like their PFAS-containing counterparts, they reduce defects like melt fracture (also known as sharkskin) and die buildup, leading to smoother film surfaces and more stable production. 

Enhanced Productivity: 

By improving flow and reducing equipment issues, PFAS-free PPAs can increase throughput and efficiency. 

Regulatory Compliance: 

They allow manufacturers to meet regulations and guidelines, especially for food-contact applications, without the risks associated with PFAS.

Sustainability: 

They offer an environmentally friendlier solution that aligns with growing demands for sustainable products from consumers and brand owners. 

No Interference with Post-Processing: 

They do not negatively impact surface treatments such as printing or lamination, or sealing properties of the final product.
