Slip additives are used to reduce the coefficient of friction to the surface of the finished
product. They help in speeding up the production process and ensure quality of the final
product. Slip agents are used in applications where surface lubrication is desired, either
during or immediately after processing.
The major types of slip additives include
Fatty acid amides
Fatty acid esters
Metallic stearates
Waxes
Slip additives are effective when they bloom on to the surface. Different slip additives
have different rate of bloom. The shorter chain length amides (widely used slip additive)
bloom to the surface more rapidly however they are less thermally stable. Permanent
slip additives does not change COF over time, are non-migratory, very effective mold
release for blow molded bottles.
