Process aids for polyolefin extrusion

Three new process aids for polyolefin extrusion, under the AmpFlow banner, are designed to impart improved flow properties to HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, polypropylene and metallocene resins.

Polypropylene-based AmpFlow 1198 is suitable for PP applications where sharkskin or die-build up is a problem. For metallocenes, AmpFlow 458-A aims to alleviate typical “cross-linking” that occurs with metallocene blends.

AmpFlow 467 has a low loading of active ingredients for applications that require only a “touch” of lubricant to prevent sharkskin or keep lines running smoothly when back pressure rises.
