Types of Slip Additive
The most commonly used slip additives are erucamide and oleamide And Oleamide migrates quicker than erucamide and is often called “fast blooming”. However after a certain time the slower erucamide will provide films with a lower COF than oleamide. Erucamide, with its lower vapors pressure and volatility, is used in higher temperature processing applications and it also stays at the surface longer, not venting off as smoke. Oleamide is used where a low COF is needed in a short period of time, while the slower migration of erucamide can be advantageous in roll stock applications and on-line corona treatment. Another fatty acid amide is Stearamide. This is often used together with erucamide or oleamide to provide an anti-blocking effect when film transparency is very important.
The concentration of slip present affects performance. Initially the COF is sensitive to small variations in concentration until a critical level of slip is reached, after which further slip has little effect on the COF. The amount of slip required depends upon film thickness, the slip additive being used and the presence of other additives such as anti-blocks.
Main Features:
Reduces frictional resistance between two plastic films and between plastic and metal parts.
Makes processing more efficient with higher productivity and improved quality.
In polyolefin film production, facilitates increased line speed in manufacturing
process and enhances packaging machine operation due to reduced COF. Ensures good
handling properties in automatic packaging machines.
Application:
- Slip Additive Master batch is applicable to all processors from industries like Packaging (Monolayer &
Multilayer flexible Packaging Film), Molding, Agricultural Films, and Bubble Films etc.
- Slip Additive Master batch is highly recommended for the use as dmolding agents in injection molding
application.
USAGE:
Dosage is 01% TO 06% depending on the end use application. Below is our ideal recommendation
