(homopolymer, random copolymer, block copolymer), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers and Formulations containing mixtures of these polymers and recycled polyolefins; packaging, A wide range of industrial applications, primarily in agriculture, automotive, construction, cable and consumer sectors. It encompasses a wide range of applications. These materials are used in high-speed extrusion processes. during processing, the polymer melt exceeds certain critical shear stress thresholds In this situation, undesirable disturbances occur in the flow behavior. These disturbances include: melt fracture, surface roughness (sharkskin), gross melt fracture fracture / GMF), stick-slip fluctuations, surface striations, irregular 20 It manifests itself as accumulation in flow transitions and mold exit areas. Interfacial behavior of polymer melt, local stress distribution and polymer-mold interactions. They are directly related. Sharkskin, also known as surface melt fracture, occurs when the polymer melt breaks down at the critical wall 25 at mold exit. Upon exceeding the shear stress, a uniform roughness and turbidity develop on the extruded surface. This manifests itself in the form of formation. This situation is especially true for narrow molecular weight distributions. and in linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) types with low melt flow rates, In metallocene-catalyzed polyethylenes and film applications requiring high optical quality. This is clearly observed. In polypropylene-based applications, 30 at mold exit. Deposit formation, surface gloss degradation, and flow fluctuations are the main process problems. These are among the issues that affect production efficiency. 2 restricting, increasing energy consumption and equipment load, and reducing operating costs. This increases the risk of developing the product and negatively affects its optical and mechanical properties. Polymer processing additives (PPAs) (hereinafter referred to as “PPA”) are involved. To eliminate flow disturbances, the interaction between the polymer melt and the mold surface is examined. 5 By regulating flow resistance, it reduces the flow resistance, balances the stress distribution within the melt, and It contributes to the extrusion process being carried out in a more stable regime. An efficient The PPA system shifts the onset of flow disturbances to higher shear rates, It reduces mold pressure, lowers extruder motor load and energy consumption, and reduces mold pressure. Minimizing cleaning frequency and ensuring stable operation at higher production speeds 10 It provides an opportunity. State of the Art Today, polyolefins are used, especially in thermoplastics such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and similar materials. Polymers are used in packaging, automotive, pipe, cable, raffia, sheet, film and injection applications. It is widely used. These materials are produced by extrusion, injection molding, and blow molding. Achieving high production speeds in molding and similar processing processes reduces waste rates. increase and various flow-related disturbances occur within the polymer melt This is the cause. These deteriorations include melt fracture and surface roughness. (sharkskin), gross melt fracture (GMF), adhesion-shear fluctuations 20 (stick-slip), irregular flow behavior, surface streaking, and deposits in mold release areas. The formation process is involved. These disruptions concern the viscoelastic behavior of the polymer melt and the intermediate Surface interactions are directly related to local stress distribution and polymer-mold interactions. process stability, energy consumption, equipment load, and final product quality have a decisive impact. It shows. 25 Polymer processing additives developed to address these problems. (PPA) regulates the flow behavior of the polymer melt, enabling higher production rates. The aim is to achieve stable process conditions. PPA systems use polymer melt. to reduce friction between mold surfaces, increase interfacial sliding, 30 in the melt to regulate stress distribution and delay flow-induced surface distortions It is used to reduce extrusion pressure, decrease motor load, and save energy. such as improving consumption and minimizing deposits formed in mold exit areas. It can also provide process advantages. 3 In current technology, most systems used for this purpose are based on fluoropolymer-based structures. It is based on these additives, which are generally hexafluoropropylene (HFP), vinylidene fluoride (VDF), tetrafluoroethylene (TFE), chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE) and similar fluorinated monomers are used to produce They contain homopolymer, copolymer, or terpolymer structures. Fluoropolymer-based systems, 5 By creating a low-friction interface between the polymer melt and the mold surface, it facilitates flow. It contributes to the improvement of his behavior. In current technology, PPA systems largely rely on fluoropolymer-based structures. This Compounds; their environmental persistence, bioaccumulation potential, and risks to human health 10 It is facing increasingly intense global regulatory pressure as a result. The European Union Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR, Regulation EU 2025 / 40), 12 August 2026 The use of intentionally added PFAS in food contact packaging has been prohibited since [date]. It prohibits it. Under the REACH framework within the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). The ongoing restriction process is expected to be completed by the end of 2026, according to the US Environment Agency. Materials containing PFAS are also protected under the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and various state regulations. Its use is becoming increasingly restricted. In line with this requirement, various fluoride-free PPA approaches have been investigated. These This includes silicone-based additives, polyether and ester-based systems, bio-based polyesters, and waxes. derivatives, organomodified siloxane structures, and inorganic phases with layered crystal structures, etc. Different methods have been examined. However, the vast majority of these systems It operates through a single mechanism of action, involving the polymer melt and the mold surface. interface interactions between them or stress distribution within the melt volume It can regulate them, but it cannot control both simultaneously. This limitation; 25 different polymer types, varying process conditions, and especially those containing recycled polymers. Maintaining process stability and long-term efficacy in complex formulations It makes things more difficult. In this context, US Patent No. 3,125,547 describes the addition of small amounts of fluoropolymer to polyolefins. It has been explained that surface defects occurring during extrusion can be reduced. This study is one of the first approaches to form the basis of fluoropolymer-based PPA systems. It is accepted. However, this system is predominantly based on a single-component mechanism of action. It is based on. 35 4 US Patent No. 4,855,360 for the development of fluoropolymer systems. Fluoropolymers with poly(oxyalkylene) structures, especially components such as polyethylene glycol (PEG). Their combined use creates a synergistic effect; the onset of flow disturbances is higher. by increasing cutting speeds, shortening cleaning time and reducing extrusion pressure This has been stated. However, the system still retains its fluoropolymer-based basic structure. 5 Similarly, US Patent No. 5,587,429 describes fluoropolymers, polar functional additives, and Multicomponent systems consisting of poly(oxyalkylene) components have been identified. With this approach... The aim was to improve process performance even with lower amounts of fluoropolymer. However, the basic operating principle of the system is still based on a fluoropolymer-based mechanism. 10 Another approach to improving the performance of fluoropolymer systems is through additives. It is related to the distribution of particles and the control of particle size. In this context, US Patent Process analysis of particle size and distribution characteristics of fluoropolymer additives, No. 6.642.310. It has been stated that aliphatic and aromatic polyesters, polyether 15 are decisive in determining its performance. from the use of various interfacial modifiers such as polyols and fatty acid esters This has been mentioned. However, this approach also eliminates the use of fluoropolymers. It does not remove it. Despite the high efficacy of fluoropolymer-based systems, they still contain 20% of PFAS class substances. Due to increasing environmental and regulatory restrictions, fluorine-free alternative PPAs are a concern. Research into these systems has accelerated. Various approaches are being considered within this scope. It has been researched. US Patent No. 4,535,113 describes the surface coating of organomodified siloxane additives in polyolefin systems. It can improve its properties, reduce surface streaking that occurs in the extrusion direction, and It has been stated that it can positively contribute to surface quality during extrusion. However, Silicone-based structures can exhibit limited process stability in certain applications, and surface It is known that this can create a disadvantage in terms of compatibility. Within the scope of studies on high molecular weight poly(oxyalkylene) systems, US Patent No. 10.982.079 describes the use of these polymers in combination with metal salts in polyolefins. It has been stated that these systems can reduce flow disturbances in extrusion. However, these systems are not suitable for the process. Similar to fluoropolymer systems in terms of cleanup time and long-term process stability. It is stated that it cannot provide the same performance under all conditions. Academic studies also involve the combination of poly(oxyalkylene) structures with boron-containing components. 5 The systems in which they are used can have an effect on the flow behavior in polyolefin extrusion. It has been reported that the resulting viscoelastic phase creates a low-friction environment between the polymer melt and the mold surface. it creates an interface, reduces extrusion pressure, and makes the flow regime more stable. It has been reported that it contributed to the development of these systems, which are fluoropolymer-based. It can also demonstrate a pressure reduction effect from the beginning of the process, compared to other systems. It is stated. 10 Fluorine-free and silicone-free alternative systems include bio-based and biodegradable polyester. The structures are noteworthy. In this context, European patent number EP 4.488.328 A1 in its application (referenced in Figure 1) poly(lactic acid) (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoate Polyolefin 15 polyester structures such as (PHA) and poly(butylene adipate terephthalate) (PBAT) It has been stated that it can be used as PPA in extrusion. However, these systems They are mostly based on a single or binary component structure of polyester and are polymer melts. a dynamic system formed by the coexistence of organic, ionic / polar polymeric and inorganic solid phases. It does not offer a multi-phase structural approach. Systems containing inorganic solid phases are also attracting attention in the literature, especially layered crystals. some inorganic structures, such as an organically modified nanoclay with a specific structure, are molded by polymer melt. It is reported that it can improve flow behavior by regulating the interactions between surfaces. These structures are able to regulate interface behavior and fluid-induced disturbances. It can contribute to reducing and minimizing stress concentrations that occur during the process. It is stated that this can reduce the use of these inorganic phases together with organic PPA systems. Academic studies have also reported that their use can create a synergistic effect. When current technology is evaluated overall, the major shortcomings of existing PPA systems are... 30 most of which are based on a single mechanism of action or a limited number of functional components It is observed that fluoropolymer-based systems can show high efficiency, although PFAS Due to its restrictions, it carries significant limitations in terms of sustainability. Flor Alternative systems that do not contain polymers are effective in certain applications, but require different polymers. types, wide process conditions and complex formulations containing recycled polymers It cannot always provide adequate performance below this level. Furthermore, significant 35% of existing systems... 6 Some regulate only the interface behavior or only the volume of the melt. It affects the stress distribution, but it cannot provide both effects simultaneously. This...
