2、It can play the role of slip, anti-bonding, and anti-fouling in ink, delay the settling and agglomeration of pigment and filler, help to redisperse, increase the abrasion resistance, scratch resistance, and surface smoothness of printed products, especially improve its slip and anti-stickiness in color printing.

3、 Adding the product in rubber (SBE, SBP, SBR, PP), can improve the luster, stain resistance, and elongation of rubber products, enhance the vulcanization promotion and wear resistance, especially the effect of preventing sun cracking.

4、 Used as a release agent and surface slip and brightening agent for thermoplastic elastomer (TPE, TEO, TPU) and fluoroelastomer, lubricant, and release agent for engineering plastics, lubricant for LDPE calendered artificial leather, slip agent for fiber material, non-woven fabric, and entertainment chips.

FDA approved.

Provides excellent anti-abrasion, anti-scratch, anti-adhesive, and increased slip surface properties for inks, avoiding the printing effect caused by abrasion of ink surfaces due to film rubbing against each other during high-speed printing. Eliminates the phenomenon that the ink film tends to fall off on the roller during high-speed printing

Regulations

The product is approved by FDA and allowed to be used in food and pharmaceutical packaging materials. It has passed SGS green test and complies with the EU RoHS environmental protection directive.

In the processing of plastics, the friction existing between resin and equipment both reduces the resin fluidity and increases energy consumption and reduces the stability of resin due to frictional heat generation, resulting in the film surface roughness and loss of luster, which is very unfavorable for the increasingly high-speed, automated processing of packaging materials, therefore, the importance of the development and application of high-efficiency slip agents is increasingly evident.

Modern plastic processing is developing towards automation, high speed, and high quality. The faster the processing speed, the easier to friction and static electricity, film (plastic products) between the easier to adhere, seriously hinder the high line speed extrusion; film transparency, the higher the processing molding temperature, the easier to agglomerate, adhesion; In addition, calcium carbonate, talc, and diatomaceous earth and other filler materials are widely used to plastic processing and product quality has brought new issues, affecting the smoothness of the surface of its products and surface gloss, In addition, the widespread use of filler materials such as calcium carbonate, talc, and diatomaceous earth brings new issues to the processing of plastics and product quality, affecting the smoothness and surface gloss of the products. Therefore, the slip agent plays a very important role in plastic production and automated packaging.

Common domestic slip agent varieties are amides (oleic acid amides and erucic acid amides), soaps (calcium stearate, etc.), and silicones (silicone). The latter is a liquid form, adding the use of inconvenient and expensive, no domestic professional manufacturers, it is difficult to promote the application. Soap products, although cheap, but the effect is not ideal, and add a large amount, in the middle, high-grade products basically can not be used. Oleic acid amide and erucic acid amide these two smooth agents, moderate price, the effect is obvious, add very little (0.05% ~ 0.3%), non-toxic (by the FDA certification), the use of a wide range, with a wide range of prospects for the promotion of applications.

In the low-density polyethylene (LDPE) resin, the addition of 0.05% to 0.3% oleamide can significantly reduce the static and dynamic friction factor of the resin. It can improve the processability of the resin and the openness of the film, effectively prevent the adhesion between films, increase the feel of the film or molded products and improve the surface finish of the products.

In polyolefin cable material and all-plastic communication cable material, adding oleamide (0.05%), the friction factor can be reduced from 0.70 to 0.16, while also changing its coloring, and carbon black and other dispersion, to achieve high-speed extrusion of cable granules and improve the smoothness of the inner wall of the cable sheathing tube.

To make the friction factor of the composite film (such as transparent PP composite film and PP pearl film, etc.) lower than 0.4, it is necessary to add a toner (oleamide or erucic acid amide), which should generally be added to the core layer (middle layer) to make it migrate to the surface. BOPP, as a new type of packaging material, has gained wide application in the tobacco industry, and to adapt to the speed of up to 500-800 packs per minute of cigarette packaging machines PP blown film has high requirements for smoothness, therefore, the choice of smoothness agent is very important, in the actual production process using a mixture of erucic acid amide and oleic acid amide together to achieve the desired effect.

Automatic filling machine packaging milk, soy milk, soy sauce, drinks, and other liquid substances, the requirements of the packaging film easy to open, dynamic friction factor ≤ 0.35, only by adding oleamide or erucic acid amide to achieve the requirements. Adding 0.02% to 0.1% oleic acid amide in the foamed polyethylene (fruit net cover) can make its static friction factor ≤ 0.30, and the luster increases obviously. Disposable medical syringe, transparency, strength, elasticity, and surface smoothness requirements are particularly high, therefore, a smoothness agent must be added to the material.

In the plastic ink (surface printing ink) add the use of oleamide or erucic acid amide, which can improve the ink surface smoothness and gloss, but also improve the ink in the printing crystal surface attachment, anti-adhesive, anti-scratch, and anti-transparent printing, making the print clear, bright color.

Plastic packaging materials have exceeded 30% of China’s total plastic consumption, the surface of the packaging material static, dynamic friction factor (i.e., smoothness and openness), is the most important technical quality indicators to adapt to a variety of mechanized and automated packaging process, but also the most critical quality characteristics of the impact on the efficiency of packaging operations, the general requirement to control within 0.35, only by adding slip agent, to make the friction factor of plastic packaging products Only by adding slip agent can the friction factor of plastic packaging products meet this requirement and prevent the film from self-phase bonding or bonding with the packaged material. Given the rapid growth of plastics for packaging and printing, the market demand for high-efficiency slip agents will also grow rapidly.
