Modifying the surface of polymer film through the use of SILIKE silicone wax additives can either improve processing properties in fabrication or downstream packaging equipment or the end use of polymer having non-migratory slip properties.
“Slip” additives are used to reduce a film’s resistance to sliding over itself or parts of converting equipment. Although amides are entrenched in most film applications because of their high efficiency and good cost structure. However, non-migratory,high-molecular-weight organic materials like siloxane slip additives are being used in specialty applications. as it offers immediate COF reduction that is not affected by high storage or use temperatures such as in shrink tunnels or hot-filling, they can be used in the outer layers of the multi-layer film.
SILIKE’s Silicone wax additives are modified silicone product, which contains both silicone chain and some active functional groups in their molecular structure. as an efficient Non-migratory hot slip agent benefit the improvement of processing and modification surface properties of PE, PP, PET, PVC, and TPU, etc.. finds use in areas such as stretch films, cast film, blown film, thin films with very high packaging speeds, and in film extrusion of very sticky resins that benefit from immediate CoF reduction and better surface smoothness of the end product. do not affect sealability and are acceptable for most printing requirements.
In addition, the most highlighted functions and benefits through the use of SILIKE Silicone wax additives can deliver stable, permanent slip performance over time and under high-temperature conditions, with almost no influence on transparency.
