Lubricity:
- Plastistrength® 770 process aid provides excellent lubricity to vinyl formulations, while imparting high optical properties and surface quality to the end products, and retaining printability.
- Plastistrength® 770 process aid can replace external lubricants by providing efficient antisticking effect without any plate-out issue.
Superior efficiency of P770 PA (Processing temperature = 205°C)
Transparent formulation, organotin stabilized, processed on a two-roll mill equipment (diam 150), with 1.2 phr of process aid
Optimized output
The use of it process aid enables manufacturers of rigid vinyl products to eliminate excessive downtime due to sticking and burning of processed compounds, with limited effect on PVC fusion and rheology.PROPERTY NEAT PVC

- The unique design and chemical composition of it process aid makes it more efficient than any other type of anti-sticking process aid.
- This higher efficiency can be used to either improve quality or to generate cost savings by dosage reduction.
