Polyolefin Films

Polyolefin films are the workhorses of the packaging and agricultural industries. Their good mechanical and durability properties as well as their excellent cost and performance ratio drive their omnipresence.

The frictional properties of the films for packaging are important during printing, laminating and wrapping. A slip agent is usually added to polyolefin shrink film to control the coefficient of friction. This control is achieved by migration of the slip additive to the film surface. The migration of the slip additive is related to its rate of diffusion and solubility in the film.
