<li>Recommended for PVC and CPVC applications where good metal release from process equipment is required such as high-speed extrusion, calendering, injection molding and blow molding.</li>
<li>Plastistrength® 770 is commonly used in PVC formulations for food or pharmaceutical packaging.</li></ul> Plastistrength® 550 by Arkema is a medium molecular-weight acrylic processing aid. Provides enhanced processability to most rigid and flexible vinyl compounds where better physical properties are desired. <br>
<ul style="padding-left: 40px;">
<li>It imparts good hot melt strength to vinyl formulations during processing while minimizing die swell.</li>
<li>It is widely used in exterior PVC building products where good weathering performance is critical.</li>
<li>Suitable for window profile, siding, pipe, automotive interior trim parts, injection molded articles, calendered sheet, blow-molded bottles and where enhanced fusion and processability are required. </li>
<li>Plastistrength® 550 is commonly used in PVC formulations for food or pharmaceutical packaging.</li></ul> Plastistrength® 566 by Arkema is a unique ultra-high molecular weight
acrylic processing aid. Provides ultra-high melt strength combined with
excellent foam density, cellular structure and surface finish to vinyl foam formulations. Plastistrength® 566 is recommended for PVC foam profiles and foam core pipes. Plastistrength® 562 by Arkema is a high molecular weight acrylic processing aid. It provides high melt strength combined with optimum PVC fusion promotion effect. It can effectively improve surging and aesthetics.<br><ul style="padding-left: 40px;"><li>It is designed to improve filler dispersion in rigid and semi-rigid PVC applications.</li> <li>It allows cost reduction without compromising melt processing performance.</li><li>Plastistrength® 562 is recommended for highly filled substrate applications including luxury vinyl tile or vinyl siding substrate and PVC conduit.</li></ul> Plastistrength® 559 by Arkema is a medium-high molecular weight acrylic processing aid. Provides enhanced fusion and melt strength.<br>
<ul style="padding-left: 40px;"><li>Used in both compact and foamed sheets.</li>
<li>Suitable for all PVC profiles and sheets produced by extrusion, especially when stabilized through Ca/ Zn (calcium/ zinc) systems.</li>
<li>Recommended dosage of Plastistrength® 559 is between 0.5 and 1.5 phr (except in foam where it is from 6 to 10 phr).</li></ul> Plastistrength® 530 by Arkema is a high molecular weight acrylic processing aid with high hot melt strength. It provides the unique combination of quick fusion with low viscosity that maximizes output. It is widely used in exterior PVC building products where good weathering performance is critical. <br><ul style="padding-left: 40px;">
<li>Provides a uniform, closed-cell structure in cellular PVC.</li>
<li>Offers enhanced processability to high output extrusion, foam and highly filled compounds.</li>
<li>Plastistrength® 530 is recommended for profiles, foam pipe, foam profiles, foam sheet, wood composites and flexible vinyl applications.</li></ul> Plastistrength® 379 by Arkema is a high molecular weight acrylic processing aid. It provides the melt strength required to lower density, maintain consistent cellular structure in vinyl foam formulations and rheology for foamed profile extrusion and thin foamed sheet applications. <br> <ul style="padding-left: 40px;">
<li>It allows dosage reduction as high as 20% versus traditional foam process aid technology. </li>
<li>Plastistrength® 379 is suitable for PVC foam profiles and celuka processes for foamed profiles like molding, foam core pipe extrusion. </li></ul> Plastistrength® 552 by Arkema is a high molecular weight acrylic polymer. Acts as a processing aid. Provides strong entanglements and higher melt shear process, thus allowing for more homogenous blends and finer blend morphology. Plastistrength® 552 is compatible with blends of polycarbonate and styrenics such as PC/ASA, PC/SAN or PC/ABS. During injection molding, it controls dimensional melt flow and eliminates gate blush, jetting or any "sharkskin" defects that may be introduced by pigments or other polymeric additives. Plastistrength® 551 by Arkema is a medium molecular weight acrylic processing aid for rigid and flexible vinyl compounds. It imparts excellent melt strength to vinyl formulation during processing. Generates even control over fusion at reduced use levels for ease of processing and maximum development of physical properties. Used in vinyl siding, profile, pipe & fittings, calendered sheet, blow molded bottles and exterior PVC building products. Plastistrength® 551 is commonly used in PVC formulations for food or pharmaceutical packaging. Plastistrength® 580 by Arkema is an ultra-high molecular weight acrylic processing aid. It provides exceptional melt strength. It shows excellent foam density and cellular structure, with a quality surface finish, for cellular PVC building products. <br> <ul style="padding-left: 40px;">
<li>It offers excellent value in formulations by increased efficiency and dosage reduction compared to traditional PVC process aids.</li>
<li>It maintains smooth surface finish after extrusion, allowing for exceptional weatherability and paintability. </li>
<li>It is recommended for all vinyl foam applications. </li>
<li> It can be used at reduced loading levels in deck boards, thin cellular PVC sheets, foam core pipe, and foamed moldings and maintains the needed final properties. </li>
<li>It gives more uniform and finer cell structure after cell nucleation by capturing an optimum amount of gas evolved from the blowing agent component.</li>
<li>Plastistrength® 580 is designed for use in thick PVC foam sheet but also effective in other applications. </li></ul>
