Applications
Optislip™ EBO is a secondary bis amide effective medium slip and anti-block agent in polyolefin polar copolymers. It is particularly useful as a pellet anti-tack additive in EVA.

Mode of Action
Optislip™ EBO 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 and anti-block

• Anti-tack additive for EVA

• Thermal stability

Recommended Polymers

• All polyolefins

• EVA

• PVC

Guidelines for Use
Optislip™ EBO 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 - 2000ppm in films and 0.2 - 1.0 % in molding applications.
