Anti-Block Masterbatches

Overview

Anti-Block Masterbatches are functional additives designed to prevent sticking or blocking between plastic film layers during processing, storage, and handling. By introducing micro-scale surface roughness, these masterbatches improve sliding, unwind, and stacking properties of films without affecting transparency or mechanical performance. They are essential for high-speed extrusion, packaging, and industrial film applications.

Physical & Chemical Properties

  • Active Ingredients: Mineral-based fillers, silica, or polymeric anti-block agents.
  • Carrier Resin: PE, PP, PET or universal carriers compatible with target polymers.
  • Appearance: Free-flowing white or translucent granules.
  • Effect on Polymer: Reduces interlayer adhesion, avoids film sticking, and enhances surface slip.
  • Thermal Stability: Suitable for extrusion and molding temperatures up to 300 °C.
  • Durability: Long-lasting anti-block effect without affecting film clarity or strength.

Applications

  • Packaging Films: Food, industrial, and consumer packaging films.
  • Agricultural Films: Mulch films, greenhouse covers, and irrigation films.
  • Industrial Liners & Sheets: Pallet covers, protective sheets, and laminates.
  • Textile & Nonwoven Films: Woven and nonwoven bags, wraps, and hygiene products.
  • High-Speed Processing Films: Any application requiring smooth unwinding and stacking.

Processing Techniques

  • Film Extrusion (Blown & Cast Films) – primary application to prevent blocking in packaging and industrial films.
  • Sheet Extrusion & Thermoforming – trays, panels, and laminated sheets.
  • Co-Extrusion – multilayer films with anti-block functionality in selected layers.
  • Injection & Blow Molding – surfaces where layer sticking may be an issue.

Sustainability

  • Reduces film wastage caused by sticking, tearing, or processing defects.
  • Compatible with recyclable polymers, supporting circular economy initiatives.
  • Non-toxic and eco-friendly grades suitable for food-contact and consumer applications.
  • Enhances efficiency and reduces energy consumption by improving film handling and processing.
