Sukano ® additive masterbatches Slip/Antiblock

Function of Slip- and Antiblock Additives

Antiblock agents appear on the film surface as rough particles giving an uneven surface to the film and through that reduce the contact surface

Sukano® masterbatches performance Slip/Antiblock

Due to the high loading of additives in Sukano® masterbatches, we can offer very efficient products low

dosage in end-application, saving space and cost for warehousing, saving costs and energy for transportation

Sukano® masterbatches perform both in end application and during processing avoiding screw slippage, plate

out on rollers and die, ensuring filter behaviour

Sukano® additive masterbatches are formulated to ensure high compatibility to our customers polymers

minimizing loss of optical and physical properties in end-application

Sukano® masterbatches may be formulated to comply with regulatory requirements for Food packaging, Toys,

electric- and electronic equipment
