PARALOID™ K-125 Acrylic Processing Aid
Improves the processing of rigid and flexible vinyl (PVC), providing the best balance of melt strength/viscosity, with a 25% efficiency improvement over standard process aids. It is particularly well-suited for film and sheet, including for thermoforming applications, rigid PVC profile extrusion, and for luxury vinyl tile (LVT).
Uses:
- General purpose acrylic processing aid
- PVC, used for any rigid PVC application
- Some flexible applications: sheet and VCT and LVT
- Film and sheet, including sheet to be further thermoformed
- Including deep-draw thermoforming
- Particularly thicker sheet for thermoforming Improve profile extrusion productivity and final profile dimensional consistency and surface appearance
- Limit melt fracture while increasing take-off speed
- Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) base layer
- Improve and even increase filler incorporation
- Improve melt strength for effective calendaring or extrusion of the LVT base layer
Benefits:
- Improves the processing of rigid and flexible vinyl (PVC)
- Providing an increased level of melt strength/viscosity over standard general purpose acrylic processing aids for PVC
- Increase melt strength or leverage for efficiency at equal melt strength versus standard process aids
- Promotes fusion of rigid PVC systems and promotes melt homogeneity
- Excellent balance of melt strength, viscosity, and gloss for rigid PVC profile extrusion
- Enables improved surface finish
- Improved machine productivity
- Enhance filler incorporation into the melt
