Background

Slip additives have been used in polyolefins for over 50 years to reduce the friction of films, mold release, facilitate the application, and removal of closures. Many materials have been proposed and used but monounsaturated fatty acid amides have become the standard for high slip applications. The most commonly used additives today are Oleamide and Erucamide which are monounsaturated primary amide with a carbon chain length of 18 and 22 respectively. These materials are highly effective slip agents, at modest addition levels have acceptable stability and volatility for most polyolefin processing.
