How do our slip additives work?

Our specialty slip additives are incorporated directly into the polymer during the extrusion process. Products can be added directly to the polymer at the processing stage, pre-compounded or included via masterbatch. They work by migrating to the surface as the polymer cools forming a solid lubricating layer at the surface. This acts to lower the friction or adhesion between contacting polymer surfaces and the polymer and other materials.
