Atmer™ 185
Atmer 185 is recommended as an anti-fogging additive for agricultural films, particularly EVA based films.
Mode of action
Atmer 185 can be dispersed evenly through the polymer in the melt phase. It migrates to the surface of the polymer where it helps to lower the surface tension and subsequently reduces water droplets allowed to condense on the plastic. The water droplets are then able to spread into a continuous, uniform layer on the fabricated film.
Benefits
- Improved light transmission
- Better growth rates for crops
- Reduced plant and crop spoilage
- Reduced water dripping
Recommended Polymers
- EVA
Guidelines for use
Atmer 185 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 are 0.5 - 4%
