Acrylic Recyclability Modifiers

An acrylic processing aid is an additive used in PVC formulations to:

  • increase melt strength and elasticity through its composition and high molecular weight;
  • accelerate fusion through more efficient transfer of shear forces;
  • promote melt homogeneity and reduce adhesion to the metal surfaces of processing equipment.

Processing Aids: Structure and Mechanisms of Action

Structure and mechanism of acrylic processing aids

The molecular weight of PVC is 40,000–100,000 g/mol. The molecular weight of Revamod acrylic processing aids is up to 10,000,000 g/mol.

As PVC compounds melt, the long molecules of the acrylic processing aid link the shorter PVC molecules. This improves the transfer of shear forces, promotes earlier fusion of the compound, increases melt elasticity and contributes to die swell as the melt leaves the die.

A properly selected processing aid supports PVC compound processing and improves the surface and appearance of the finished product.

Revada Plastic offers a wide range of acrylic processing aids, from low- to ultra-high-molecular-weight grades, for various production needs.
