Improve production efficiency and support sustainability goals
Ampacet has introduced a range of PFAS-Free Polymer Processing Aids (PPA) that perform as well as fluoro-based PPA’s in blown film extrusion for multiple end-use applications.
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been found to present potential health hazards and face increased regulations for their use. As more government agencies restrict the use of PFAS, it’s important to consider using a PFAS-free PPA that is globally compliant for food contact.
The new Ampacet PFAS-Free PPA’s are compliant for food contact and like fluoro-based PPA’s, they eliminate melt fracture, reduce die buildup for less downtime and promote faster throughput. Ampacet PFAS-Free PPA’s are proven to perform as well as fluoro-based PPA’s for multiple conversion processes and end use applications—at the same LDR as most common Ampacet PPA’s. In addition, Ampacet PFAS-Free PPA’s do not interfere with surface treatments, such as printing and lamination, and have no effect on sealing.
User Guidelines for PFAS-Free PPA
- Each Ampacet PFAS-Free PPA is a synergistic blend of chemistries designed to be roughly equivalent to the performance of a commonly used fluoro-based PPA’s.
- Depending on your process, 1-3% of Ampacet PFAS-Free PPA masterbatch is generally required.
