Slip & anti-block agents are incorporated directly into the polymer during the extrusion process. They work by migrating to the surface as the polymer cools forming a solid lubricating layer at the surface. This acts to lower the friction or adhesion between contacting polymer surfaces and the polymer and other materials.

Polyolefin polar copolymers and anti-tack agent for EVA |
Anti-fogging agents which can be incorporated into the polymer during the extrusion process. They migrate to the surface both raising the surface energy of the polymer and lowering the surface energy of any water droplets. This changes the interfacial tension between water and the polymer surface allowing the condensed water droplets to spread into a continuous and uniform transparent layer on the fabricated film.

Anti-static agents that are incorporated into the polymer during the extrusion process. They migrate to the surface and interact with atmospheric moisture reducing surface resistively and hence dissipating high electric charge densities, to give a long-lasting anti-static effect to the plastic part.

Anti-static/Pastille |
Sodium alkyl sulfonate in tablet form is a long-acting antistatic agent for styrene (PS ABS) and PVC polymers. It has excellent thermal stability and is suitable for high temperature processing operations. It is less suitable for high transparency materials and may cause turbidity. Approved for food contact. |
The unique patented technology of the UV Protection is based on ultra-fine metal oxides, providing greater dispersion and clarity than ever before. Unlike organics, the easy-to-use stable dispersions deliver low migration and long-term UV protection. In film and bottle packaging UV Protection protects contents from the harmful effects of UV light, giving consumer products greater shelf appeal.
