Databook of Antiblocking, Release, and Slip Additives

Databook of Antiblocking, Release, and Slip Additives, Second Edition contains detailed information on over 300 important additives for polymers, including additives that are used to minimize adhesion, aid separation, and enhance processing and end-applications for polymers. Each additive is presented with data in the following categories: General Information, Physical Properties, Health and Safety, Ecological Properties, and Use and Performance. Data fields covered include state, odor, color, autoignition temperature, probability of biodegradation, and much more. Recommendations are given for specific products, processing methods, and mold materials, and an assessment is given for each additive’s features and benefits.

• Contains the most extensive data available on a large number of antiblocking, release and slip additives for polymers
• Features 130 data fields for each additive that are divided into General Information, Physical Properties, Health and Safety, Ecological Properties, and Use and Performance
• Includes an assessment of the benefits and properties of each additive, recommended dosages and processing methods
