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).

Benefits of using Qualiwax® additive in your formulation

• Decrease the friction coefficient to increase machine capacity
• Create a process-regulating lubricant by increasing the line speed
• Increase the surface’s safety
• Anti-scratching and flaking reduction in high-abrasion zones

Applications
