Applications
Optislip™ VRX is very effective as a slip agent in polyolefins providing high slip and improved oxidative stability, color, odor and shelf-life compared to other oleamides.

Mode of Action
Optislip™ VRX can be dispersed evenly through the polymer in the melt phase. It migrates to the surface of the polymer where it forms a thin lubricating layer. This layer reduces coefficient of friction between surfaces and reduces unwanted adhesion.

Benefits

• High slip

• Mold release

• Torque release

• Scuff resistance

Recommended Polymers

• All polyolefins

• PVC

• EVA

• Nylon

• TPE

Guidelines for Use
Optislip™ VRX is an internal additive and can be incorporated into resin as supplied or via masterbatch / pre-blend. Experience has shown that simple manual mixing prior to processing will normally give an acceptable dispersion though, mechanical means are preferred.
Typical addition levels vary depending on polymer and lubrication required.
Recommended levels are around 500 - 2000 ppm in films and 0.2 - 1.0 % in molding applications.
