Applications
Optislip™ ORX provides high slip performance in polyolefins with quick migration properties. It has higher stability compared to Optislip™ OR.

Mode of action
Optislip™ ORX 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.

Feature and benefits

• High slip

• Mold release

• Torque release

• Scuff resistance

Recommended Polymers

• All polyolefins

• PVC

• EVA

• Nylon

• TPE

Guidelines for use
Optislip™ ORX 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.
