Polymer Processing Aid Market

Technological advancements and the ability to customize PPAs offer promising prospects for the polymer processing aid market.

LUTON, BEDFORDSHIRE, UNITED KINGDOM, November 16, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The polymer processing aid market is expected to grow at 4 % CAGR from 2023 to 2029. It is expected to reach above USD 2.66 billion by 2029 from USD 1.64 billion in 2022.

Polymer processing aids are additives used in the manufacturing of polymers to improve processing efficiency, enhance product quality, and optimize the production process. These aids assist in the extrusion and molding of polymers, reducing friction and improving flow properties. A polymer processing aid’s primary purpose is to make the polymer more processable by lowering melt viscosity, raising melt strength, and preventing melt fracture. PPAs provide smoother and more effective processing by reducing viscosity, which reduces energy consumption, boosts productivity, and improves the dimensional stability of the finished product. Additionally, they aid in reducing surface flaws like flow lines, streaks, and surface roughness.
