Anti-block
Celatom MW-25 and CelaBrite anti-block additives reduce the tendency of thermoplastic film to adhere when blown or casted into thin films. Blocking or the tendency to stick to adjacent film is prevented by the addition of diatomite to interrupt the smooth film surface and reduce the film-to-film contact.
Celatom MW-25 and CelaBrite make a particularly good anti-block because they are chemically inert, dimensionally stable under a wide range of temperatures, easy to disperse, and have a bright and white color, with a refractive index very similar to low density polyethylene (LDPE). This makes Celatom and CelaBrite DE virtually invisible to the naked eye in the plastic film. Celatom MW-25 and CelaBrite anti-block additives exhibit minimal interactions with other additives in most LDPE and LLDPE resin systems.
