Polyolefin Processing Aids: Uses and Benefits
Processing Aids for Polyolefins Polyolefin processing aids are specialty additives used to improve the processability of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), particularly during extrusion. They can help reduce surface defects such as melt fracture, improve extruded product appearance, and support more stable production conditions. The right processing aid depends on the polymer grade, extrusion equipment, […]
Rheology Modifiers for Recycled Polymers
Rheology Modifiers for Recycled Polymers Rheology Modifiers help manufacturers control melt flow and processing behavior in polymer compounds containing high levels of recycled plastic. Because post-consumer recycled (PCR) and post-industrial recycled (PIR) materials can vary in molecular weight, contamination, moisture, and thermal history, their processing behavior may be less predictable than that of virgin polymers.
