INTRODUCTION
Polyfill Natural Polymer Processing Aid Masterbatch, PT3001 is a new generation, highly technical product, suitable for controlling and eliminating the problem of Melt Fracture or Shark Skin Effect, during the process of LLDPE / LDPE / HM – HDPE by extrusion process.
Melt Fracture is generally the surface imperfection seen as a regular ridged surface with ridges running perpendicular to the extrusion direction especially in films, which is also known as “Shark Skin Effect”.
ADVANTAGES
·
·
Through optimisation of the extrusion process, the use of PT3001 can also lead to an increase in output and yield films with enhanced and bi-directional physical properties and improved clarity and gloss.
FEATURES Thus, PT3001,
· ·
Reduces the melt COF and hence there is an increase in output rate by about 10-15%.
DOSAGE
PT3001 Masterbatch is to be mixed with polymers in a dosage of 0.5 – 2% for LLDPE AND HDPE. Generally the 0.5% use of this Masterbatch gives a good result for processing film.
