Typical Applications
ACCUREL® PPA 1410 is applied in various film processes, e.g. cast films, blown films and others. The product is suitable for transparent and matt films as well as for films containing TiO2 (white opaque films) or CaCO3.
ACCUREL® PPA 1410 causes a significant reduction of the coefficient of friction (COF). At the same time the slip performance is improved. There is no transfer of the additive to the opposite layer of the film causing a lost in adhesion force or a reduced sealing strength.
ACCUREL® PPA 1410 is suitable to replace fluorine-based polymer processing aids (PPA) to prevent the film against shark skin appearance.
ACCUREL® PPA 1410 prevents against die built up and thus, reduces the need for cleaning stops and maintenance.

Benefits at a glance
In general
If used as a COF reduction agent / slip enhancer
If used as PPA
- No thermal degradation
- No influence on printability
- ACCUREL® PPA 1410 does not cause a coating of the rollers in cast film applications nor the metal dies in blown films applications resulting in less cleaning and maintenance work compared to other PPAs
- High gloss and no haze in transparent applications, which is important for graphic art films for instance
If used as a COF reduction agent / slip enhancer
- Longer lasting slip performance even after thermal aging
- Even at very low addition levels a homogenous distribution of the additive can be achieved in the finished product
If used as PPA
- Unlike other PPAs, ACCUREL® PPA 1410 shows an immediate effect without start-up processes being required
- Quick material change from one quality of film to another
- Quick color change as material does not stick to the metal walls
- No corrosive degradation products
