Slip Agent Masterbatch

Slip Agent Masterbatch

Product

Slip masterbatch enhances the surface finishing of polymer by reducing the coefficient of friction (COF). It also maintains the optic properties like clarity, brilliance and transparency of film. The thickness of film and the amount of slip agent must be reduced to maintain the same coefficient of friction. We are providing the best quality material by which excellent lamination and metalizing properties, excellent printing ability, proper handling of goods in packing machines, smooth winding and unwinding of films, avoids cracking of sheets during processing etc. can be achieved.

Solution

It is recommended for many applications like film, sheet and injection moulding. As slip agents, fatty acid amides (Oleamide, Erucamide and Stearamide) are normally used. During processing they are solubilized in the amorphous melt, but as the polymer cools and crystallizes the fatty acid amides are squeezed out forming a lubricating layer at the polymer surface. The addition of slip agents can prevent film sticking and pulling helping to increase throughput.
