ESKİM PVA BASED LOW PROFILE ADDITIVE

. CC Description and Basic Properties

PVA Based Low Profile Additive contains %40 polyvinyl acetate that is solved in styrene. It can be used
in SMC, BMC, RTM and pultrusion. In all these processes, Eskim PVA Based Low Profile Additive is used
as a low-profile additive to produce Class-A surfaces with high mechanical performance and excellent
phase separation for controlled processing. The acceptable volume-shrinkage of the unsaturated
polyester is 0.05 %, expressed in terms of the original dimensions of the unit before curing. In the
closed mold process and pultrusion an excellent property profile is essential. This includes surface
smoothness, high gloss, high dimensional stability and reduced shrinkage. Low-profile additives (LPA)
are used in UP resin-based formulations to achieve the desired product quality. In homogeneous
pigmentation some kind of problems can occur. With magnesium oxide together formulated SMC
becomes more viscous. The composite products are highly resistant to heat and water.
