SLIP

Introduction

Slip agents are specialized additives used in polymer processing to enhance the handling and performance of plastic products. They function by reducing the friction between surfaces, both within the polymer matrix and between the polymer and external surfaces.

Purpose

The primary purpose of slip agents is to reduce friction and enhance the processability of polymer products, leading to smoother production and improved product quality. By lowering surface friction, slip agents help to prevent problems such as sticking, blocking, and surface defects.

Applications

Slip agents are widely used in the plastics industry, particularly in the production of films, sheets, and coatings. In film manufacturing, they help to prevent the sticking of layers during processing and storage, improving the ease of unwinding and handling.
