Ampacet broadens its line of PFAS-free Polymer Processing Aids with the introduction of high-temperature resistant solution PROFLOW 1611.
In the ever-evolving world of plastics, Ampacet, a global leader in masterbatch, is making waves with its latest innovation. The company has introduced PROFLOW 1611, a PFAS-free and Siloxane-free high-heat extrusion PPA masterbatch solution.
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been identified as potential health hazards, and the newly adopted Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) restricts their use in food packaging. Ampacet's PROFLOW 1611, which belongs to the company, is a timely response to this regulatory shift.
This PFAS-free polymer processing aid solution has already been tested and proven by leading players in the plastics industry. It is designed for various processing applications, including oriented and non-oriented films, pipe extrusion, and cable extrusion.
One of the key benefits of PROFLOW 1611 is its ability to improve throughput. It also reduces die build-up for minimized downtime and eliminates melt fracture. Moreover, it has no impact on sealing performance and does not interfere with surface treatments such as printing and lamination.
PROFLOW 1611 enables the production of a wide range of end-use products. It is compliant with EC, FDA, and Mercosur food contact regulations, making it a versatile solution for the industry.
Ampacet will be showcasing PROFLOW 1611 at K2025, which takes place from 8-15 October in Duesseldorf, Germany, at Booth C24 in Hall 5. For more information on Ampacet's PFAS-Free portfolio, including PROFLOW 1611, please email [email protected].
The official deadline for restricting PFAS in food packaging according to the PPWR is August 12, 2026. In the meantime, Ampacet invites you to explore its PFAS-free solutions and join them in creating a safer and more sustainable future for the plastics industry.
