Product Description

Product Overview

Acrylic Processing Aids include copolymers of methyl methacrylate and butyl acrylate. It offers outstanding efficiency for improving the processing characteristics,such as melt strength, faster fusion, and promotion of melt homogeneity and surface finish.
Acrylic impact modifiers are mainly used in outdoor rigid PVC products which a good balance of impact strength and gloss, as well as excellent weatherability is required.
Acrylic processing aids and impact modifiers are mainly used in PVC pipes, PVC profiles, WPC products, SPC products, PVC wall panels, PVC sheets, PVC foam boards.

Application Guide

1. Construction & Building Materials

• Typical Products:

  • PVC pipes (water supply/drainage pipes)

  • Door/window profiles (extruded frames)

  • Wall panels, cladding panels, roofing tiles

  • PVC flooring (rigid/soft flooring)

• Functions:

  • Improve processing fluidity: Reduces extruder torque, lowers energy consumption, and boosts production efficiency.

  • Eliminate surface defects: Minimizes fish eyes and flow marks, enhancing surface smoothness.

  • Enhance melt strength: Prevents melt fracture during extrusion, ensuring uniform pipe wall thickness.

  • Accelerate plasticization: Shortens plasticization time, suitable for high-speed extrusion lines.

 

2. Packaging Industry

• Typical Products:

  • Transparent PVC films (food packaging, shrink films)

  • Bottle cap gaskets

  • Blister packaging (pharmaceuticals, electronics)

• Functions:

  • Maintain clarity: Low dosage (0.5-1.5 phr) preserves film transparency.

  • Reduce blocking: Improves anti-blocking properties to prevent film adhesion during winding.

  • Enhance thermal stability: Prevents degradation/discoloration during high-temperature blow molding or calendering.

 

3. Automotive & Transportation

• Typical Products:

  • Automotive seals (door/window seals)

  • Interior components (dashboards, door panels)

  • Cable sheathing (high-temperature/flammable-resistant PVC cables)

• Functions:

  • Improve surface gloss: Eliminates fogging on injection-molded parts, meeting automotive aesthetic standards.

  • Optimize processing window: Adapts to high-temperature, high-pressure injection molding environments.

  • Enhance weather resistance: Works with UV stabilizers to extend outdoor component lifespan.

 

4. Electronics & Electrical Appliances

• Typical Products:

  • Wire/cable insulation

  • Appliance housings (sockets, switches)

  • Protective films for electronic devices

• Functions:

  • Boost flame retardancy: Synergizes with flame retardants to reduce dripping (complies with UL94 standards).

  • Improve dimensional stability: Minimizes shrinkage in molded parts, ensuring precision tolerance.

  • Reduce migration risk: Prevents additive migration that could contaminate electronic components.

 

5. Medical & Consumer Goods

• Typical Products:

  • Medical catheters, IV bags

  • Transparent blister packaging (medical devices, cosmetics)

  • Shoe soles, toys (flexible PVC products)

• Functions:

  • Biocompatibility: Non-toxic formulations meet medical-grade PVC standards (e.g., USP Class VI).

  • Adjust softness: Modifies elasticity and tactile feel of soft PVC (e.g., slip-resistant shoe soles).

  • Sterilization tolerance: Resists ethylene oxide or gamma-ray sterilization processes.

 

6. Industrial & Agricultural Applications

• Typical Products:

  • Agricultural films (greenhouse mulch, silage films)

  • Industrial hoses (chemical-resistant tubing)

  • Anti-corrosion coatings (tank linings, chemical equipment)

• Functions:

  • Anti-aging performance: Extends UV resistance of agricultural films.

  • Chemical resistance: Enhances stability in acidic/alkaline environments.

  • Low-temperature toughness: Prevents film brittleness in cold climates.

 

Core Functional Mechanisms

ACR processing aids achieve the above functions through:

1. Plasticization promotion: Reduces intermolecular friction in PVC, accelerating uniform melting.

2. Lubrication effect: Minimizes melt adhesion to equipment surfaces, lowering energy consumption.

3. Melt reinforcement: Boosts melt elasticity to prevent film rupture during blowing/calendering.

4. Surface modification: Fills microscopic defects to enhance finish quality.

 

Selection Guidelines

• Rigid PVC (pipes, profiles): Choose high melt-strength grades (e.g., ACR-401).

• Flexible PVC (films, shoe soles): Prioritize low-viscosity, high-flow grades (e.g., ACR-201).

• Transparent products: Use ultra-low volatile, high-purity ACR (e.g., medical-grade ACR).
