Processing Aid Masterbatch
Our Processing Aid Masterbatch innovative solutions redefine the plastic processing landscape by offering unparalleled effectiveness, even at minimal addition rates.
Harnessing the power of fluoro-polymer technology, our Plastic Processing Aid Masterbatches are designed for optimal performance. The fluoro-polymer, seamlessly dispersed within the main plastic carrier resin, undergoes a transformative process during melting. This results in the creation of a dynamic low-friction surface coating on the extruder screw, barrel, and die. The outcome is a smoother flow of the main polymer, reducing resistance from manufacturing tools and utensils. This not only alleviates pressure and motor force within the extruder but also opens up possibilities for substantial energy savings.
Nikan Chemi's Processing Aids go beyond the basics. They excel in diminishing melt fracture and die lines while actively discouraging gel formation, ensuring a cleaner and more efficient production process. Processors can enjoy extended operational periods between die cleaning stops, yielding clear and glossy end products.
When it comes to incorporating colors and dyes, our Processing Aids shine. They accelerate and facilitate color changes over time, ensuring a seamless transition in your manufacturing process.
Achieving the perfect coating equilibrium involves considering factors such as concentration, dispersion, throughput, viscosity, shear gradient, and temperature. Our process aid masterbatch is introduced at an initial percentage, typically %1, and can be gradually reduced to %0.5 or even %0.25 while maintaining the desired effects.
