Surface modification By Silicone-based Technology

Most coextruded multilayer structures of flexible food packaging materials are based on polypropylene (PP) film, biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film, and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) film. LDPE film has a low specific gravity, versatility, high chemical, and electrical resistance making it a suitable choice for the flexible packaging industry. However, With changes related to industrial’s demands and consumers’ lifestyles, along with environmental awareness. So, more new packaging technologies are needed to enhance their performance and expand their applicability in the flexible packaging field.

In this context, most film field researchers and developers are seeking novel materials for their flexible packaging technologies innovation…

SILIKE SILIMER silicone wax product is a new silicone-based technology, that by long chain alkyl-modified siloxane additive containing polar functional groups. The development of methods for controllable modification of polymeric flexible packaging materials to adjust their physicochemical, mechanical, optical, barrier, and other properties is one of the most critical areas of modern packaging technology. However, Surface modification with this silicone wax material is an innovative technology for the polymeric flexible packaging industry.

Your flexible packaging film can get benefits from SILIKE SILIMER Siliicone wax product: this new silicone-based additive addresses the traditional drawbacks of organic additives, anti-block masterbatch, slip additive, and amides, by delivering stable, long-lasting slip performance, can significantly reduce the dynamic and static coefficient of friction (COF) of LDPE films and other films to enable higher throughput and productivity, improve the anti-blocking & smoothness of the film, at the same time, It has a special structure with good compatibility with the matrix resin, no effect on the transparency of the film, Non-migration between film layers or between the film and package contents at high-temperature conditions, It helps prevent impact on downstream operations, such as printing and metallization and potential contamination of food or other contents, and try to take care of the environment.
