Polymer Process Aids (PPAs) are used to reduce or eliminate melt fracture (sharkskin or orange peel), improve gloss, reduce haze, gel formation, die build-up, die lines, and provide faster colour changes. Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAs) were historically used as an active ingredient in PPAs; however, due to their chemical nature, PFA usage is now regulated and restricted in North America. There are alternatives available now for non-PFA PPAs.

With an array of features and benefits ranging from ground-breaking accuracy to unified software between all laboratory and online production equipment, the LMI5500 is incredibly advanced and designed just for the thermoplastics resin industry. The LMI5500 brings a new level of ease of use with its removable inspection plate, increased access for sample cutting, and improved touch screen. It is capable of delivering a wide range of data for melt flow rate, shear stress, shear rate, apparent viscosity, intrinsic viscosity, melt density, and testing conditions.
