Solef 11010 (PVDF : Polyvinylidene fluoride)
Solef® 11010 PVDF is a typical thermoplastic material used as an additive in order to offer unique benefits to polymer resins, such as the elimination of melt fracture and the reduction of die buildup.
Due to its incompatibility with the majority of polymers and their fast movement in the molten flow during extrusion, Solef® 11010 PVDF build a thin coated layer on the metal surface of the die leading to a direct improvement of the processability of the extruded polymers (stabilization of flow instabilities).
Key features
Normally a final concentration of only 200 to 1000 ppm Solef® 11010 PVDF is sufficient to achieve the mentioned benefits.

Key features
- Elimination of melt fracture (shark-skin effect)
- Reduction of die build-up
- Improvement of the surface finish with high gloss levels
- Faster production start-up
- Pressure reduction
- Higher output at constant die pressure and temperature
- Lower energy consumption
