About Acrylic processing aid for foam boards

Acrylic processing aid significantly improves the melt strength of PVC foam materials, inhibits bubble coalescence and rupture, does not collapse, burst, or merge bubbles, and has a stable and well controlled foaming ratio.

And ACR processing aid optimizes the cell structure, which can promote uniform nucleation, form fine and high closed cell cells, effectively stabilize cell growth, and ensure stable and controllable foaming process. Reduce product density, improve thermal insulation, sound insulation, and buffering performance.

It can promote PVC plasticization, improve melt flowability, have a flat surface, high glossiness of the product surface, and be smooth without defects, which can significantly increase the qualification rate of your products.

Acrylic processing aid is less prone to premature foaming, cell collapse, and other abnormalities. It is suitable for various foaming processes such as extrusion, injection molding, and rolling, with minimal addition and significant effects, effectively reducing waste rates and ensuring high stability of the production line

Superior Performance in Foam Board Processing

Our acrylic processing aid is tailored for foam board production, offering notable improvements to fusion and melt strength. Its excellent compatibility with PVC and WPC ensures uniform dispersion and a broad processing window, resulting in high-quality, consistent products. The additive's high thermal stability allows it to withstand demanding process temperatures, making it ideal for modern manufacturing lines.

Safe, Environmentally Responsible Solution

Fully compliant with RoHS and REACH standards, this product is free from heavy metals, non-toxic, odorless, and taste-free, making it safe for operators and end-users alike. Its eco-conscious formulation supports sustainable manufacturing without sacrificing performance or product quality.

Convenient Handling and Storage

The processing aid is supplied as a free-flowing white powder in 25 kg PP bags with PE liners, though custom packaging is available upon request. With a recommended storage in cool, dry, tightly sealed containers, the product maintains full potency for up to two years, simplifying inventory management and supply chain logistics.

FAQ's of Acrylic processing aid for foam boards:

Q: How should the acrylic processing aid be used in foam board manufacturing?

A: The recommended dosage is 2-4 parts per hundred resin (phr), mixed thoroughly with the PVC or WPC formulation. Ensure it is evenly dispersed in the matrix for optimal fusion, melt strength, and processability within the recommended processing temperature of 160-210C.

Q: What benefits does this acrylic processing aid provide during foam board processing?

A: This additive improves fusion, enhances melt strength, and broadens the processing window, resulting in greater mechanical properties and a more consistent final product. Its excellent dispersion ensures uniformity throughout the board.

Q: When should I add the processing aid during production?

A: It should be added during the initial compounding phase, combined with the main resin and other additives before extrusion or molding. This ensures proper integration and maximum performance benefits.

Q: Where should the product be stored for best shelf life?

A: Store the acrylic processing aid in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed in its original packaging. Under these conditions, it retains optimal performance for up to two years.

Q: What makes this product environmentally friendly and safe to use?

A: It is formulated to be free from heavy metals, non-toxic, odorless, and complies fully with RoHS and REACH regulations, minimizing environmental impact and ensuring user safety.

Q: How does the additive affect the final foam board properties?

A: It enhances fusion and melt strength, ensures uniform cell structure, and improves both processability and overall board consistency, without compromising safety or the environment.

Q: What packaging options are available for this product?

A: Standard packaging is 25 kg polypropylene (PP) bags with polyethylene (PE) liners. Customized packaging options can be arranged on request to suit specific logistics or handling needs.
