Product Description
Processing anomalies such as fish-eyes and buildup of decomposed material on the extruder screw are occasionally observed in PP-EVOH regrind extrusion. These anomalies are caused by the regrind degradation resulting from the interaction between EVOH and the impurities and additives in PP.

EVAL Americas GF-20 is a stabilizer masterbatch designed to prevent these anomalies.
