Optislip™ EBSV
Optislip™ EBSV bio-based, vegetable derived, secondary bis-amide additive provides good anti-blocking properties in polyolefins. It can also be used as a process aid to improve dispersion of fillers, has proven mold release action in polyamides and can be used as a lubricant for PVC.
Optislip™ EBSV 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 prevents any unwanted adhesion.
Guidelines for Use:
Optislip™ EBSV 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.
