Premix Thermoplastics PREADD AB 172

Subcategory: Polyethylene; Additive/Filler for Polymer; Thermoplastic; LDPE

Material Notes:
PREADD AB 172 is a PE-LD based antiblock masterbatch developed for polyethylene films over 35µm in thickness.

The addition of PREADD AB 172 gives following advantages to films:

• Increased heat conductivity accelerates the cooling of the film. This can lead to capacity increases especially in cases where the natural cooling is insufficient.
• Antiblocking effect is achieved already at low addition levels.
• Color change in the extruder takes place faster because of the purging effect.
• Printability is improved.
• Heat sealing time and temperature can be lowered.
• Shrinking time of shrink films can be shortened especially when shrinking is done by infrared radiation. This is a valued advantage e.g. in packaging deep frozen products.

PREADD AB 172 is approved for use in contact with foodstuffs according to FDA and BgVV regulations without limitations.
