Pebax^® thermoplastic elastomers consist of polyamide and polyether backbone blocks. These specialty elastomers offer very low material density, a wide range of shore hardness values, extremely efficient energy return (over a wide temperature range) and are optionally biobased.
 

Provides enhanced processability from its unique metal release properties that it imparts to vinyl compounds. This lubricating acrylic process aid is recommended where good metal release from processing equipment is required. Applications include high-speed extrusion, calendering, injection molding and blow molding.

Offers enhanced processability for high output extrusion. This acrylic processing aid is ideal for applications such as profiles, foam pipe, foam profiles, foam sheet, wood composites and flexible vinyl. 

Offers enhanced processability to most rigid and flexible vinyl compounds such as siding, profile, pipe, calendered sheet and blow-molded bottles.

Offers enhanced processability to most rigid and flexible vinyl compounds such as siding, profile, pipe, calendered sheet and blow-molded bottles. Provides higher melt strength than Plastistrength® 550.

Recommended for blends of polycarbonate and styrenics where stable morphology is very difficult to achieve. Plastistrength® 552 process aid will open the processing window and allow compounders to easily achieve high quality blend morphology necessary for high impact performance, high flow behaviour, and additives dispersion.

Provides enhanced fusion and melt strength. Suitable for both compact and foamed sheets. Recommended for all PVC profiles and sheets produced by extrusion, especially when stabilized through Ca/ Zn (calcium/ zinc) systems.

Provides high melt strength combined with optimum PVC fusion promotion effect. It has been especially designed to improve filler dispersion in rigid PVC applications.

Provides very high melt strength combined with optimum PVC fusion promotion effect. Plastistrength® 564 processing aid has been especially designed to improve filler dispersion in high filler content PVC.

Offers improved melt strength when used in the extrusion of cellular PVC sheet and building products, including foam-core pipe, trim board, cellular PVC sheet and signage, and foamed profiles. It allows compounders to realize increased efficiencies in usage of up to 20% when compared to standard process aids, while maintaining cell structure and density requirements.

Offers outstanding melt strength, excellent melt elongation, and enhanced fusion promotion. Plastistrength® 576 acrylic process aid can be used to promote fusion in highly filled vinyl compounds or used to reduce extrusion temperature without compromising fusion performance.

Offers improved melt strength when used in the extrusion of cellular PVC sheet and building products, including foam-core pipe, trim board, cellular PVC sheet and signage, and foamed profiles. Plastistrength® 580 acrylic process aid allows compounders to realize increased efficiencies in usage of up to 20% when compared to standard process aids, while maintaining cell structure and density requirements.

Provides enhanced processability from its unique metal release properties that it imparts to vinyl compounds. This lubricating acrylic process aid is recommended where good metal release from processing equipment is required. Applications include high-speed extrusion, calendering, injection molding and blow molding.

Plastistrength^® acrylic processing aids enhance the extrusion or injection molding performance of polymer compounds by promoting fusion, improving melt strength, eliminating surface defects, and decreasing plate out. Plastistrength^® process aids also improve metal release and surface finish properties in extrusion or calendering. Vinyl compounds require less stearate, oxidized polyethylene, or paraffin wax with Plastistrength^® process aids.  Engineering resins like polycarbonate and its alloys gain better phase stability and easier processing with Plastistrength process aids.

Offers excellent benefits to PVC compounders. L1000 provides excellent metal release characteristics due to its unique lubricating properties. Even at low usage levels, users experience dramatically improved resistance to plate-out with little effect on clarity, heat stability, chemical resistance, or physical properties.
