Revolutionize Your Polymer Processing with PFAS-Free Polymer Processing Aids

The push for sustainability and efficiency in polymer processing is stronger than ever. As global regulations tighten around materials like PFAS (Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances), industries are seeking safer, high-performance alternatives. Ampacet has stepped up with an innovative solution: PFAS-Free Polymer Processing Aids (PPA). At GUZMAN POLYMERS, we are proud to distribute these groundbreaking additives, helping our clients optimize production while supporting sustainability goals.

Why Switch to PFAS-Free PPA?

PFAS substances, traditionally used in polymer processing, are under scrutiny due to potential health hazards and increasing regulatory restrictions. Ampacet’s PFAS-Free PPA offers a compliant, sustainable alternative without compromising performance. These additives are globally compliant for food contact and are designed for multiple end-use applications, making them an ideal choice for industries prioritizing safety and efficiency.

Key Benefits of Ampacet’s PFAS-Free PPA

  1. Globally Compliant: Suitable for food contact applications, meeting stringent international standards.
  2. High Performance: Eliminate melt fracture, reduce die buildup for less downtime, and promote faster throughput.
  3. Surface Treatment Compatibility: Do not interfere with printing, lamination, or sealing processes.
  4. Equivalent to Fluoro-Based PPA: Perform at the same LDR (let-down ratio) levels as most common Ampacet fluoro-based PPAs.
  5. Siloxane-Free: Environmentally friendly composition for cleaner processing.

How PFAS-Free PPA Works

Each Ampacet PFAS-Free PPA is a synergistic blend of chemistries tailored to match the performance of traditional fluoro-based PPA. These additives ensure smoother extrusion processes by eliminating melt fracture and minimizing die buildup. The recommended usage ranges between 1-3% masterbatch, depending on the specific process and application.

Supporting Sustainability Goals

By choosing PFAS-Free PPA, companies can align their operations with global sustainability initiatives. These additives help reduce environmental impact while maintaining the high efficiency required in polymer processing. They are a crucial step toward a circular economy, where materials are recycled and reused more effectively.
