Slip additives, also known as slip agents, are additives incorporated in the polymers to control friction.
Slip additives alter the surface characteristics of polyolefin films by reducing friction between film layers, as well as friction between the film and other contact surfaces, since reduced friction allows the film to move more easily during machine operations. The effectiveness of slip additives is normally determined by the coefficient of friction (COF).
