Low Density in Foam PVC for More Sustainable Product
Performance Additives provides global plastic additives technology with the support of our North American-based staff and facilities. Using the most state-of-the-art additives manufacturing technology, Performance Additives is able to produce ultra-high molecular weight process aids that allow for the most effective foaming of PVC.
Performance Additives has elevated the foam PVC industry through high molecular weight process aids, which have allowed producers of foam board, deck, and cellular pipe to achieve lower product densities without losing any important physical properties.
These process aids allow PVC foam producers to capture gas more effectively and produce a lighter finished product. With a lower density, less plastic is needed to produce the same high-quality goods.
Sustainability Starts with Quality Products
Sustainability begins with a consistent, high-quality product that can give converters a repeatable process, meaning less scrap material is produced. The use of small batch reactors allows for maximum repeatability and consistency of additives, which limits the variation from batch to batch. With these solutions, customers know they are going to get a high-quality product, which limits processing adjustments and reduces the total scrap percentage.
Additives for Strengthening Recycle Processing
Being able to effectively recycle PVC is a key tenant of Performance Additives and hugely important to help spread the positive benefits of the vinyl industry. During the recycling process, some physical characteristics may be lost, so it is critical to be able to assess those characteristics. Performance Additives offers heat stabilizers, impact modifiers, process aids, and select lubricants that accomplish this exact goal and make it easier for converters to increase their recycled or calcium carbonate content.
