Technical Details & Test Data

Test Result - Slip and Antiblocking
  • Slip protects packaging from damaging during production processes and transportation

The lower the CoF (Coefficient of Friction); the higher the slip

  • ULTRALUBE enhances slip and anti-blocking even in high gloss OPV
  • Dosage 3.0% ULTRALUBE GA 2030 and 4.3% GA 1046 in OPV 1 - gloss
