This is the Secret to More Efficient and High-Quality Plastic Production

Why is Efficiency in Plastic Production Important?

In the plastics industry, production efficiency is key to increasing output, reducing costs, and producing high-quality products. However, various challenges in the plastic extrusion process often hinder the plastic production process. Therefore, innovations in plastic processing additives such as Intapol are needed.

Challenges in the Plastic Extrusion Process

Plastic extrusion is a key process in the production of various types of packaging, films, and other plastic components. However, there are several obstacles that often occur, including:

• Shark Skin Effect
  The plastic surface becomes rough due to high friction during extrusion.
• Increased Back Pressure
  Hinders polymer flow and increases energy consumption.
• Material Buildup on the Die
  Slows production and increases downtime.
• Inconsistent Product Quality
  The final product varies due to unstable polymer flow.

If not addressed properly, these problems can lead to increased production costs and raw material waste.

Solution?

One solution that can overcome the above challenges is the use of fluoropolymer-based additives such as Intapol. This technology works by forming a thin layer on the surface of the extruder screw and die, thereby reducing friction and improving polymer flow.

Benefits of Fluoropolymer Additives in Plastic Production:

• Increase Production Speed
  By reducing polymer flow resistance, production runs more smoothly and throughput increases.
• Reduces Back Pressure
  Helps optimize energy use and extend the life of production equipment.
• Prevents Material Buildup on the Die
  Minimizes downtime and increases work efficiency.
• Compatible with a Wide Range of Polymers
  Can be used for LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, PP, and other polymers, making it a flexible choice for manufacturers.
