Performance Enhancement for Virgin Polyethylene
Improve melt strength, processing stability, and long-term performance in virgin polyethylene applications.
Nexam Chemical offers targeted additives for demanding processes such as pipe extrusion and blow moulding.
Challenges in demanding PE applications
Processes such as pipe extrusion and blow moulding require high melt strength and stable processing conditions.
Even in virgin polyethylene systems, converters often face:
- Sagging in thick-wall extrusion
- Limited dimensional stability
- Insufficient melt strength
- Challenges in achieving long-term performance requirements
Controlled structure modification for improved performance
NEXAMITE® additives modify the polymer structure during processing through a controlled reaction, creating long-chain branching.
This improves melt strength and process stability without forming volatile by-products and without requiring changes to existing processing equipment.
Improved melt strength and performance
NEXAMITE® A48 / M480502 offers:
- Increased melt strength at low dosage
- Reduced sagging in extrusion processes
- Improved dimensional stability
- Enhanced mechanical performance
- Better long-term durability and chemical resistance
