Polymer processing aids,PPA is an additive used to improve the manufacturability of fluoropolymer resins and other polymers by reducing viscosity, improving melt flow, preventing sticking to machinery, and enhancing the surface finish and dimensional stability of finished parts. These aids are crucial for efficiently producing high-precision, high-performance co mponents in industries such as electronics, automotive, and packaging by acting as lubricants and facilitators during processing like extrusion and molding.

The use of fluoropolymer based processing aids (FPA) to eliminate melt fracture in polyethylene (LLDPE and HDPE) is well known . For other polyolefins the use of this type of processing aid is limited to a few general statements in patents, papers and product literature with little or no supporting data. In commercial practice, the use of FPA in polypropylene and other olefin based polymers is small in comparison with polyethylene. In the case of polypropylene, shear thinning and degradation lower the polymer melt viscosity, making it less susceptible to melt fracture. Yet, the use of FPA can be effective for lowering extrusion pressure - increasing polymer throughput, and eliminating die drool (die lip buildup). As for thermoplastic rubber, the use of FPA has not been examined publicly.

We are one of the leading manufactuers of polymer processing aids in China. We produce Fluropolymer PPA and FPAS free PPA to meet the market demands of high quality products.

How PPA Works:

Reduce Viscosity and Melt Fracture: 

FPAs decrease the viscosity of the polymer melt, which makes it easier to process, and they eliminate or significantly delay melt fracture—a common issue in high-speed extrusion that leads to surface imperfections. 

Prevent Die Stick and Wear: 

They form a lubricating layer on the surfaces of processing equipment, preventing the fluoropolymer from sticking and reducing wear on machinery, which extends the life of the equipment.

Improve Surface Finish and Dimensional Stability: 

By ensuring a smoother, more uniform flow of the polymer, FPAs result in better surface finishes and improved dimensional stability for the final products. 

Enhance Throughput and Energy Efficiency: 

Smoother processing allows for faster production cycles, increasing throughput and leading to energy savings by reducing the required processing temperatures. 

Key Applications

Extrusion: Used in the production of films, pipes, and complex-shaped profiles. 

Molding: Improves the flow and molding of fluoropolymers into precision parts. 

Film Formation: Essential for creating high-quality, smooth films for packaging, agriculture, and industrial uses. 

Benefits of Using FPAs

Higher Product Quality: Reduces defects and ensures consistent, high-quality finished parts. 

Increased Manufacturing Efficiency: Facilitates faster production cycles and less downtime. 

Reduced Waste: Minimizes material waste by preventing processing issues. 

Lower Production Costs: Achieved through energy savings, reduced equipment wear, and lower waste.
