Processing aids are chemical additives used in compounds to increase the plasticity, fluidity or lubrication of a material. These processing aids are suitable for use in plastics and rubber compounds. Processing aids soften polymer compounds in order to improve processing, lower compound viscosity and increase the flexibility of polymer compounds.
Because there is a wide range of chemicals used as processing aids, the individual properties of each compounding material can differ greatly. Depending on a customer’s specific compound, process requirements and chemical compatibility, the correct additive must be selected to ensure proper performance.
