PVC foaming regulator K530 is a high-viscosity PVC processing aid specifically engineered for high-foam PVC profiles. As a premium PVC processing additive, it meets the demanding requirements of high-expansion-ratio applications where precise melt rheology control is essential. With intrinsic viscosity of 14.0–14.5, this regulator delivers exceptional melt strength, enabling ultra-low density profiles while maintaining mechanical integrity and surface quality.
Product Principle:
When incorporated into PVC formulations for high-foam profiles, K530 acts as a powerful rheology modifier accelerating gelation and fusion under heat and shear. Its high molecular weight structure enhances melt cohesion and viscoelasticity, effectively encapsulating expanding gas bubbles from blowing agents. The increased melt tension prevents bubble coalescence and rupture, promoting uniform fine-celled foam structures critical for high-expansion applications where conventional limits are exceeded.
Performance Characteristics:
This advanced PVC processing additive exhibits outstanding low-temperature plasticization promotion, enabling energy-efficient processing in high-output extrusion lines. The elevated intrinsic viscosity imparts superior melt strength and elasticity, allowing foam densities below 0.3 g/cm³ without sacrificing rigidity. K530 demonstrates excellent dispersibility, ensuring uniform foam cell distribution with low volatile content (≤1%) for stable extrusion operations. It reduces melt fracture and die swell, resulting in precise dimensional control and smooth, glossy surfaces.
Usage and Dosage:
Recommended addition level is 3%–8% based on total formulation weight, depending on target foam density, profile geometry, and extrusion conditions. Preliminary trials advised for optimal performance.
