Applications
Optislip™ EBS is a secondary bis amide effective as an anti-block agent and process aid for polyolefins. It has proven mold release benefits in nylon and is a lubricant for PVC.

Mode of Action
Optislip™ EBS 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 reduces any unwanted adhesion.

Benefits

• Anti-block

• Dispersion

• Mold release

• External lubricant for PVC

Recommended Polymers

• All polyolefins

• Nylon

• PVC

• Styrenics

• Rubber

Guidelines for Use
Optislip™ EBS 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.
