Application：
Armoslip CP is a refined oleamide with low color (typical
at production 170 Pt-Co) and low water content (typical 120 mg/kg).
Armoslip CP provides excellent slip effect and moderate
anti-blocking performance. It is the most frequently used slip additive
for PE film applications. When Armoslip CP is thoroughly mixed with the
polymer it greatly improves processing behavior and end-performance by reducing
friction and adhesion forces between polymer and processing equipment and
polymer to polymer surfaces. Due to a continuous migration a thin film of Armoslip CP is formed on the surface of the finished product and this provides the
excellent slip effect and moderate anti-blocking performance.
It is generally
preferred in standard formulations due to its quick migration and low cost. The
mechanical and optical properties of the endproduct are not altered
significantly.
Armoslip CP can be applied in a wide
range of thermoplastic polymers. The addition level varies from 0.05 to
0.3% depending on the slip effect needed and the presence of other additives.
Armoslip CP facilitates over-printing and wet-printing
when incorporated into ink formulations. These inks have improved slip
and anti-blocking characteristics, along with better adhesion and resistance to
both scratching and rub-off without undue increase of viscosity.
Armoslip CP may be used to improve the penetration,
flexibility and slip or seal properties of wax and resin coated paper
and paperboard.
Armoslip CP also may be used in adhesives, coatings,
closures and EVA copolymers; as defoamer in paper and paperboard
manufacturing; as a dye solubilizer; and as surface lubricant in the
manufacture of metal articles.
Armoslip CP show uniform particle size, providing
excellent flow behavior, enabling easy dosing and mixing.
Armoslip CP is preferred for more demanding applications,
as it offers high purity, low color and very low water content compared
to other oleamides.
Storage：
PMC
BIOGENIX recommends to store Armoslip CP powder in a dry well-ventilated
place at 25°C (77°F) max. Prolonged storage over 35°C (95°F) can cause some
caking and discoloration.
