Optislip^™ 203

Optislip™ 203 bio-based secondary amide additive is used to obtain medium or controlled slip in polyolefins. It is slower migrating, and therefore gives predictable slip performance. The additive is especially useful in co-extruded or laminated structures.

Optislip™ 203 amide additive can be dispersed evenly through the polymer in the melt phase. It migrates to the surface of the polymer where it forms a thin lubricating layer. This layer reduces coefficient of friction between surfaces and reduces unwanted adhesion.

Guidelines for Use:

Optislip™ 203 internal additive can be incorporated into resin as supplied or via masterbatch / pre-blend. Experience has shown that simple manual mixing prior to processing will normally give an acceptable dispersion, though mechanical means are preferred. Typical addition levels vary depending on the polymer and lubrication required.

Recommended levels are around 500 - 2000 ppm in films and 0.2 - 1.0% in molding applications.
