Features & Benefits: THERMOPLASTIC FILMS (Ideal slip & anti-block agent) : Provides good anti-block and release performance in polyolefin films such as BOPP and in EVA film coatings.

CELLOPHANE : Abril 9031 performs well as an anti-static and anti-block additive in cellophane coatings at addition rates of 0.15 – 0.5% and in this role will aid rather than interfere with heat sealing operations.

POLYSTYRENE (Anti-static & anti-block) : Will lower the melt viscosity of polystyrene and greatly assist in the compounding of grades with differing melt flow index. Benefits are improved mold filling and reduced shrinkage through the use of lower temperatures while the properties of the base polymer remain virtually unaltered.
