PLASTIS
Plastistrength® 552
Acrylic Process Aid
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Plastistrength® 552 is high molecular weight acrylic process aid designed to provide Engineering Plastics and its polymer blends such as PC/styrenic (PC/ASA, PC/SAN or PC/ABS) high homogeneity and stronger compatibility between the polymer phases at low loading levels.
TYPICAL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

PRODUCT BENEFITS
1. Owing to a unique chemical composition and polymer structure, Plastistrength® 552 process aid provides strong entanglements and higher melt shear process, thus allowing for more homogenous blends and finer blend morphology. 2. Owing to its optimum acrylic copolymer chemistry allowing partial miscibility in various Engineering Plastics, Plastistrength® 552 process aids allows polymer blends such as PC/SAN or PC/ABS to have a stable morphology. 3. Plastistrength® 552 process aid is capable of selectively entangling polymer chains which significantly reduces injection molding anisotropy. 4. During injection molding, Plastistrength® 552 process aid controls dimensional melt flow and eliminates gate blush, jetting or any "shark- skin" defects that may be introduced by pigments or other polymeric additives.
SUGGESTIONS FOR USE
Plastistrength® 552 process aid is recommended for PC/Styrenic blends where often stable morphology is obtained only by unique compounding know-how. Plastistrength® 552 will open processing window and allow compounders to easily achieve high quality blend morphology necessary. for high impact performance, high flow behaviour and additives dispersion. Prospective clients should evaluate Plastistrength® 552 process aid in their own laboratories to establish optimum conditions in their processes and applications. Arkema's Technical Service Team is available to discuss your application requirements provide formulation guidance and laboratory testing as needed.
PACKAGING
Plastistrength® 552 process aid is packaged in 20 kg bags.
