What are the uses of Processing Aid Masterbatches?

• Enhanced Processing Efficiency : These additives reduce the viscosity of molten polymers, allowing an easy flow through machinery. This increases the production rates and decreases energy consumption, as there is a reduction in the resistance of the flow.
• Improved Product Quality : By minimizing issues such as melt fracture and die lines (surface defects), processing aids help produce smoother, clearer, and glossier products, improving their aesthetic appeal, especially in applications where visual appearance is critical.
• Extended Equipment Life : The lubricating properties of processing aids reduce the wear and tear on machinery, extending the life of expensive equipment and reducing maintenance costs.
• Versatility and Effectiveness : Even at low addition rates, processing aids are highly effective, providing significant benefits without altering the fundamental properties of the base polymer.

How does a Processing Aid Masterbatch work?

The science behind processing aid masterbatches lies in the unique properties of some speciality polymers. Their effectiveness is attributed to their unique interaction with both the polymer matrix and the metal surfaces of the processing equipment.

1. Migration and Coating Formation

During the extrusion or moulding process, the polymeric material is subjected to high temperatures and shear forces. Certain additives of the MB being immiscible with the carrier resin and the primary polymer, migrates to the surface. This migration is driven by the low surface energy of some macromolecules and their affinity for metal surfaces.

2. Coating on Metal Surfaces

As the speciality polymer reaches the metal surfaces, it forms a thin, continuous coating. This coating is dynamic and self-renewing; it can abrade under high shear conditions and subsequently be replenished from the bulk polymer melt. The coating serves several critical functions:

• Lubrication : It acts as a lubricant, reducing the friction between the molten polymer and the metal surfaces, which minimizes mechanical resistance, and lowers the overall energy consumption.
• Reduction of Melt Fracture : The low friction and anti-adhesive properties of the fluoropolymer coating smooth out this motion, eliminating surface roughness and producing a high-quality finish.
• Prevention of Die Buildup : The masterbatch imparts non-stick characteristics that prevent the accumulation of polymer residues, maintaining a clean die surface and reducing the need for frequent maintenance and cleaning.
• Colour Change Facilitation : In processes where colour changes are frequent, the coating can help accelerate the transition by reducing the adherence of pigments and dyes to the machinery, thus speeding up the cleaning process.
