ACR-401: The Go-To Acrylic Processing Aid for Superior PVC Foaming Applications
The demand for lightweight, strong, and durable materials in construction and manufacturing has significantly boosted the popularity of foamed PVC products. Achieving the desired properties in these materials, such as reduced foam density and increased impact strength, heavily relies on specialized additives. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers ACR-401, an Acrylic Processing Aid that has become an industry standard for foamed PVC applications, consistently delivering superior product quality.
Foamed PVC products, whether they are foam boards for signage, profiles for windows and doors, or pipes for insulation, require careful control during the extrusion process. The incorporation of blowing agents creates cellular structures within the PVC melt. However, to ensure these cells remain intact and contribute to the desired material properties, the PVC melt itself must possess adequate strength and stability. This is precisely where an effective processing aid like ACR-401 comes into play.
ACR-401, as a high molecular weight acrylic copolymer, significantly improves the processing characteristics of PVC. Its primary contribution to foamed PVC is its ability to enhance melt strength and viscoelasticity. This robust melt matrix acts as a scaffold, effectively stabilizing the microcells generated by blowing agents. By preventing cell collapse during the extrusion and cooling phases, ACR-401 ensures that the final product achieves its targeted low density and high impact strength. This directly translates into materials that are not only lighter but also more resilient and durable.
Beyond structural improvements, ACR-401 also plays a vital role in elevating the surface quality of foamed PVC products. The improved melt flow and homogeneity it imparts lead to a smoother, more uniform surface finish. This is crucial for applications where aesthetics are important, such as in decorative panels or high-end window profiles. Manufacturers using ACR-401 can expect a reduction in surface defects, leading to higher customer satisfaction and a stronger market position.
NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is dedicated to providing chemical solutions that empower manufacturers to achieve their production goals.
