- Benefits
High Efficiency - Ecovyst anti-blocking silicas have accurately controlled particle size, porosity and bulk density characteristics. The anti-blocking effect is instantaneous after film formation.; Color Generation - Ecovyst anti-blocking silicas are manufactured from high purity, synthetic feedstocks. This ensures that the products contain low levels of trace metal contaminants and provide excellent non-yellowing performance.; Film Quality - Ecovyst anti-blocking silicas have a minimal effect on mechanical properties, allowing smooth films with excellent scratch resistance to be produced. A high film gloss is maintained and films containing anti-blocking silicas are not subject to scuffing when rubbed together. Finished films have excellent printability and ink adhesion.; Clarity - The refractive index of Ecovyst anti-blocking silicas is comparable to that of polyolefin and polyester resins, allowing film clarity to be maintained at a high level.; Excellent Dispersibility - Ecovyst anti-blocking silicas provide an optimal balance of particle size, porosity and bulk density characteristics.; Low Abrasivity - Ecovyst anti-blocking silicas are soft honeycomb structures that are sufficiently strong to resist mechanical attrition during processing but soft enough to minimize wear on processing equipment.; Inert - Ecovyst anti-blocking silicas are inorganic and do not affect taint, odor or toxicity. The use of anti-blocking silicas in polymer films does not lead to taint and odor problems in packaging applications. Ecovyst anti-blocking silicas are amorphous to X-rays and are non-silicotic.; Consistent Product Quality - The precise control of the physical and chemical characteristics of Ecovyst anti-blocking silicas ensures consistent performance.
- Special Approvals
Ecovyst anti-blocking silicas have FDA & EU Food Contact Approval, conform to the requirements of the JHOSPA and are Halal and Kosher certified.
