Product type
Slip additives are chemical agents used in the production of polymers and plastics to reduce friction between surfaces, enhancing the slip properties of the final product. These additives are typically incorporated into plastic films, coatings, and molded products to improve their handling and processing characteristics. They work by migrating to the surface of the plastic, creating a lubricating layer that allows for easier movement and reduced sticking during manufacturing and usage.
| Chemical composition | Fatty acid amides or polyethylene waxes |
| Typical usage concentration | 0.5% to 5% by weight |
| Form | Powder, granule, or liquid |
| Melting point range | 80°C to 200°C |
| Compatibility | Compatible with various polymers including PE, PP, and PVC |
When selecting slip additives, consider the specific type of polymer you are using, as compatibility can vary. It's important to specify the desired slip level, as well as any processing temperatures your application may require. Additionally, inquire about any certifications or regulatory compliance needed for your industry, especially in food packaging or medical applications. Quantities can vary based on production scale, so be clear about your needs.
