Croda's new slip additive promotes PET molding

Croda claims that its newly developed PET-slip additive, IncroMax PET100, can greatly improve surface lubricant performance in the production process of PET preforms and greatly increase production efficiency.

The large surface friction of PET leads to problems such as scratches, adhesions and static electricity, which greatly reduces the surface quality of the molded parts, increases the difficulty of product packaging, and the normal operation of the production machinery is also affected to varying degrees. The IncroMax PET100 is said to significantly reduce friction during production, reducing mold release forces by 60%. Smaller friction also reduces wear and scratch in the molding process. Automatic processing equipment is also easier to operate.

Traditional slip products can cause yellowing or clouding of the polymer. The PET smoothing agent developed by Croda can fully exert the effect of the slip agent without affecting the color or the clarity of the molded product. Croda's proprietary additives can be added to solid color concentrates and can also be formulated into liquid colorants for the production of beverage bottles, household items, cosmetic bottles, injection molded tubes, food packaging, PET films and extruded sheets.
