Optislip^™ 212

Optislip™ 212 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™ 212 amide additive can be dispersed evenly through the polymer in 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™ 212 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 polymer and lubrication required.

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