- Details
Slip agents work by introducing a lubricious coating layer to the polymer surface. Both migratory and non-migratory systems are available. Wells plastics have a broad product offering of slip additives including high purity, low organoleptic grades.; In polyolefin film applications Wells Plastics offer migratory slip masterbatch grades able to give high slip films with a CoF of around 0.1. Additionally, there are speciality slip masterbatches that can give a controlled medium slip film with a CoF of around 0.3. These are particularly useful in applications like security and mailing films where excellent adhesive bond strength on the flap sealing strip is required.; In molding applications, slip agents can be used to deliver controlled torque release properties for screw caps and closures as well as an internal mold release agent.; Wells Plastics slip masterbatches can be custom formulated to suit specific applications or polymer types. Combination masterbatches with other additives such as antiblock or antistatic are also available.
