DuPont MULTIBASE™ AMB-12235 MASTERBATCH is a pelletized formulation containing siloxane polymers and an antiblock agent dispersed in low density polyethylene (LDPE) blown film grade.
It is designed to be used as an additive in polyethylene compatible systems to impart benefits such as processing improvements (ex: FFS: Form, fill and seal bagging process) and modification of surface characteristics (low coefficient of friction (COF)). This was developed especially to reach the best performance in plastomer skin layers in PE films. High-speed, high-volume FFS packaging operations place stresses on LDPE film, including increased levels of surface friction. Reducing COF is critical to seamless throughput, high productivity and consistent quality.
DuPont MULTIBASE™ AMB-12235 MASTERBATCH provides exceptional slip performance while overcoming the drawbacks of organics – and controlling costs. Application Additive in polyethylene compatible systems.
BENEFITS
DuPont MULTIBASE™ AMB-12235 MASTERBATCH eliminates the migration issue of organics by retaining excellent COF reduction values for an extended period. This formulation also prevents migration of the slip additive between the film layers. This does not affect the corona treated layer (opposite layer) when film is winding and helps maintain the film’s printability overtime.
From a cost efficiency standpoint, DuPont MULTIBASE™ AMB-12235 MASTERBATCH offers several advantages. First, it is effective at low loadings. Second, it can be incorporated only in the outer layer of multi-layer films (unlike organics, which are added to all layers), so less is needed. This provides a cost effective way to improve the film properties.
Further, it is based on a standard LDPE to ensure homogeneity which optimizes the performance of the slip additive.
ADVANTAGES
• Reduces friction to enable higher throughput and productivity from film extrusion to bag formation
• Delivers long-lasting stability to maintain slip performance over time and temperature
• Avoids quality issues by preventing migration of slip additive between film layers or into package contents
• Optimizes processing with smooth dosing and homogeneous dispersion
• Controls costs with lower loadings and use in only the outer layer of multi-layer film
