Slip additives are plastic modifiers used to overcome the resins’ natural tackiness so they can move smoothly during the converting and manufacturing of packaging equipment, by decreasing the film’s resistance to sliding, therefore, lowering the friction between film layers and other surfaces while acting as an internal lubricant during handling.
Slip additives, usually based on unsaturated fatty acid amides, such as Oleamide and Erucamide, migrate rapidly through polyolefin films after extrusion and appear on the surface of the film to lower the Coefficient of Friction.
Many factors affect the friction development, such as the polymer type, the
film gauge and structure, the processing temperature and type, as well as other
used additives.
MicroMB slip additives are suitable for various diffusion rates, temperatures, base resins, and ink types and required in several industries related to the manufacturing of appliances, electrics & electronics, as well as consumer goods, and packaging.
