Applications
Optislip™ 203 is a secondary amide effective at providing medium/controlled slip in polyolefins. It has a slower migration level giving predictable slip performance and is useful in co-extruded or laminated structures.

Mode of Action
Optislip™ 203 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

• Medium slip

• Mold release in engineering polymers

• Controlled slip migration

Recommended Polymers

• All polyolefins

• Engineering polymers

Guidelines for Use
Optislip™ 203 is an internal additive and can be incorporated into resin as supplied or via masterbatch/preblend. 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 the polymer and lubrication required.
Recommended levels are around 500 - 2000 ppm in films and 0.2 - 1.0 % in molding applications.
