    Technical Information

    The theory of anti-blocking is that varied particle shapes of diatomite particles protrude from, or are at the surface of the polyethylene film. The particles of DE, Talc HFM 15 & 25 & Feldspar are extremely efficient for this application in all types of polyolefin films including LLDPE, metallocene PE and PP. Depending on the type of resin used to make the film and the end use application, the amount of anti-block required usually ranges from 0.2% to 0.5% by weight of the resin. Due to the critical nature of incorporating a solid into a solid plastic film, our products meet exacting quality. Anti-blocking additives are most important for the films applications. Anti-blocking additives helps to reduce the blocking between polymer surfaces.
