New Acrylic Additive Boosts PVC Foam Quality and Production Efficiency
Oct 16,2026
Manufacturers of PVC foam products often face challenges with inconsistent density, surface roughness, and insufficient strength. The selection of foam regulators plays a crucial role in achieving the delicate balance between lightweight properties and structural integrity.
WSD-90, a high-performance acrylic polymer, has been developed specifically to address these production challenges. This advanced additive serves as more than just a processing aid—it functions as a core component that enables fine cellular structures and superior mechanical properties in finished products.
With optimized molecular weight distribution and high intrinsic viscosity (12-14), WSD-90 delivers three primary benefits while improving processing efficiency:
- Refined Cellular Structure: Stabilizes the decomposition process of foaming agents to ensure uniform, dense cell distribution, significantly reducing product density while maintaining excellent surface smoothness.
- Enhanced Melt Strength: Improves PVC melt elasticity and tensile strength, effectively addressing common extrusion issues like bubble collapse and shrinkage cavities.
- Superior Processing Performance: High purity and excellent flow characteristics reduce equipment load while improving production line stability and reducing scrap rates.
To ensure process repeatability and stability, WSD-90 maintains strict quality standards:
- Appearance: Pure white free-flowing powder for easy measurement and mixing
- Fineness: ≥99.5% pass rate through 40-mesh screen for rapid, uniform dispersion
- Volatile Content: ≤1.0% to minimize bubble interference during processing
- Intrinsic Viscosity: 12-14 range for optimal melt strength support
The versatility of WSD-90 makes it suitable for various PVC processing methods. Recommended dosage levels (per 100 parts PVC resin) include:
- PVC Foam Sheets: 8-12 parts for optimal hardness and surface finish in architectural applications
- PVC Pipes and Profiles: 6-8 parts to enhance melt strength and dimensional stability in complex cross-sections
- Foam Footwear and Lightweight Products: 1-3 parts to balance lightweight properties with elasticity and tactile comfort
Scientific adjustment of WSD-90 ratios enables manufacturers to optimize production costs while significantly improving end-product competitiveness in the PVC foam market.
