AddWorks PPA 101 FG is a PFAS-free polymer processing aid (PPA) for polyolefin extrusion applications, based on this company's proprietary organic material technology. In polyethylene (PE) blown and cast films, it solves melt fracture – commonly called sharkskin – and it prevents die build-up. For decades, fluoropolymer-based polymer processing aids have been the standard solution to these challenging production issues, but tightening global PFAS regulations and even selective bans in certain regions and applications are the driving forces behind the emerging conventional fluoropolymer technology phase-out. AddWorks PPA 101 FG is suitable for LLDPE-based packaging, agricultural, and building and construction film applications among others. Unlike fluoropolymer-based PPAs, it contains no PFAS, no silicone, nor inorganic substances, it is non-hazardous and label-free, and holds broad food contact approvals under FDA, EFSA, Mercosur, China GB and Japanese regulations.Fluoropolymer-based polymer-processing aids have long been effective tools in PE film extrusion. The challenge is that they contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) – the so-called forever chemicals that are highly persistent in the environment and harmful to human, animal and plant life. Regulators across the EU, USA, and Asia are progressively restricting PFAS use across chemical sectors, and polymer additives are within scope. PE film converters supplying packaging markets face both PFAS restrictions on the additive itself and recyclability mandates under the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), which create additional incentives to eliminate PFAS from packaging film formulations.

AddWorks PPA 101 FG is a 100% active fine-grain formulation with an approximate bulk density of 500–600 g/L. It lowers apparent shear stress at the extruder die wall, which raises the critical shear rate and allows higher output without melt fracture. Sharkskin removal typically begins 20 to 40 minutes after line start-up, depending on let-down ratio (LDR), resin type, film configuration, and process- and equipment parameters. At a 0.2% LDR, performance is near-equivalent to conventional fluoropolymer-based PPAs in critical shear rate testing. The product is thermally stable, with less than 0.5% weight loss below 280°C and less than 0.9% below 320°C. It can be incorporated via the host resin, as a concentrate, or via a masterbatch carrier. AddWorks PPA 101 FG typically works in Ziegler-Natta LLDPE as well as in more difficult to process metallocene LLDPE resins. And this in fully formulated film configurations without antagonistic effects with typical film co-additivation. — Clariant AG, Muttenz, Switzerland

This new, simpler handling is partly due to the design of the spray gap, in which a flexible plastic membrane seals the circular gap from above. The flexible cap lifts solely through the pressure of the incoming liquid, and ensures excellent distribution even at low spray rates. If the process has to be interrupted, the spray liquid is pumped back, causing the membrane to be sucked in and to securely seal the spray gap. This prevents the gap from drying out and deposits from forming, which could block the nozzle when the machinery is restarted and therefore put the process at risk. Maintenance of the FLEXIJET is also easier because all nozzle components and wearing parts are available to reorder at any time and can be replaced by users themselves without the need for specialists. Besides granulation, the FLEXIJET® nozzle is also recommended for hot-melt coating applications, as no liquid evaporates here and batch processing times are relatively short. — Romaco Group, Karlsruhe, Germany

Energy-efficient thin-film drying combined with a heat pump
The D-Dryer HTHP (photo) combines thin-film drying with a high-temperature heat pump to enable the efficient recovery of process heat from the vapor stream. As a result, a large portion of the evaporation energy is fed directly back into the drying process, which significantly reduces operating costs and CO2 emissions. In contrast to convective drying processes, heat transfer in contact drying takes place directly via heated surfaces. Evaporation takes place without an active air supply, resulting in almost pure vapors that can be efficiently condensed and used for energy. These continuous thin-film dryers process liquids, suspensions, pastes and moist solids. Hall 7, Stand 849 — Buss-SMS-Canzler, Butzbach, Germany
