Packaging drives the North America acrylic processing aid market growth by improving the PVC melt flow, facilitating moulding into intricate shapes
Acrylic processing aids (APAs) offer advantages to the packaging industry by improving PVC melt flow, enhancing impact resistance and durability, increasing product visibility with improved clarity, reducing energy consumption for cost efficiency, and providing chemical resistance for versatile applications.
The Canadian Construction Association notes that the construction sector employs over 1.6 million Canadians, creating a ripple effect in engineering, manufacturing, technology, and retail. This industry contributes approximately $151 billion annually to the economy, representing 7.4% of Canada's GDP.
In the Building and Construction Industry, APAs enhance PVC flow properties for manufacturing pipes and profiles, reducing processing time and improving surface finish. They also enhance impact strength, weather resistance, and dimensional stability, and offer cost savings through increased efficiency and reduced defects in construction materials production.
