Solving the Big Challenges of Film Production: Reducing Gels in Recycled Material and Eliminating PFAS Materials

Legislation and tax incentives have advanced the use of recycled resins into films. The recycled material is usually of lower quality, with excessive gels. The gels will cause defects that will hinder the physical properties of the film, and to compensate, more virgin resin is added to create a thicker gauge of film.
This is ridiculous!
It is time to rethink this approach through smart practices and sophisticated use of additives to reduce the gels. A reduction in gels leads to higher PCR content allowed and/or a downgauging of the final film to meet the necessary physical properties.
Furthermore, the recent emphasis on banning or restricting PFAS materials has left many film manufacturers searching for new polymer process aids (PPA). In this session, we will review the challenges facing the industry and show viable solutions. This fluorine-free and siloxane-free technology is available now.
