PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) are under growing scrutiny due to their persistence in the environment and potential health risks.According to the EU REACH Regulation and US EPA 2024 Roadmap, PFAS-containing processing aids will face progressive bans or strict reporting requirements.For manufacturers exporting pipes to Europe or North America, compliance is no longer optional — it’s a market necessity.<\/p>\n
As a result, pipe producers are actively seeking PFAS-free polymer processing aids that can deliver the same extrusion smoothness and stability, without environmental or reputational risk.<\/p>\n
Introducing the SILIKE SILIMER Series — A 100% Pure, PFAS-Free, Silicone-Based PPA<\/p>\n
Developed by Chengdu SILIKE Technology, the SILIMER Series represents a major breakthrough in extrusion processing aids.<\/p>\n
Unlike fluoropolymer PPAs, SILIMER silicon based plastics additives are based on a pure modified copolysiloxane molecular structure, combining the low surface energy of silicone with polar modified groups that actively migrate to metal surfaces.<\/p>\n
Once at the die wall, these molecules form a stable lubricating layer, reducing melt friction, stabilizing shear stress, and minimizing die pressure — all without using any fluorine components.<\/p>\n
