PE6830 Polymer Processing Aids (Cable Grade)

Polymer Processing Aids (Cable Grade) Description

Polymer Processing Aids (Cable Grade) are advanced polymer processing aids (PPAs) specifically designed for extrusion processes in wire, cable, and fibre manufacture. They correspond to the Polymer Processing Aid FX 5912. These free-flowing, thermoplastic fluoropolymer additives aim to enhance the processing efficiency of thermoplastic polymers at very low additive concentrations. Both products work to reduce or eliminate die build-up, lower extrusion pressure, and increase throughput, ultimately improving the overall production process.

Main Features:

Low additive concentrations: Effective at very low concentrations (200-1000 ppm), exerting minimal impact on the physical properties of high-strength plastic systems.

Improved extrusion process: Reduces extrusion pressure, increases yield, and minimizes die build-up, contributing to a more efficient production line.

Prevention of melt fractures: Assists in reducing or eliminating melt fractures and lowering extruder torque, thereby enhancing product consistency.

Cleaning effect: Ensures a clean extrusion process with reduced die build-up, thus minimising maintenance requirements and associated costs.

Versatile temperature range: Suitable for a broad range of processing temperatures, providing flexibility for various polymer systems.

Polymer Processing Aids (Cable Grade) Applications

Polymer Processing Aids are ideally suited for applications in wire and cable extrusion, where efficient processing and high-quality production are critical. These products help optimise manufacturing processes, enhance productivity, and reduce downtime by preventing common extrusion issues, such as die deposits.

Frequently Asked Questions about Polymer Processing Aids (Cable Grade)

Q1. What are Polymer Processing Aids (PPAs)?

Polymer Processing Aids (PPAs) are additives used in the extrusion of thermoplastic materials to enhance processing efficiency, reduce defects, and improve overall manufacturing performance. They help prevent die build-up, reduce melt fractures, and lower extrusion pressure.

Q2. What are the benefits of using Polymer Processing Aids?

PPAs enhance processability by reducing die build-up and melt fractures, lowering extrusion pressure, increasing throughput, and decreasing energy consumption. In addition, they minimise the risk of defects and enhance the consistency and quality of the final product.

Q3. How do Polymer Processing Aids work?

PPAs function as lubricants in the polymer melt and reduce friction between the polymer and equipment (e.g. the die and extruder screws). This results in a smoother flow, less wear, and better control over the extrusion process.
