Vue d'ensemble

Scope of the Report

Melt strength enhancers are functional additives added to polymer melts to improve the strength and viscoelasticity of polymers in the molten state. By enhancing melt strength, these additives can prevent the melt from sagging, deforming or breaking during processing, which is especially important in processes such as foaming, blow molding, extrusion and thermoforming. Melt strength enhancers are commonly used in materials such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to improve their processing performance and enhance the mechanical properties and surface quality of the final product.

Global key Melt Strength Enhancers players cover Brüggemann, Arkema, Dow, Graft Polymer, Kaneka, etc.
