Easy-open package, high-clarity mineral and polymeric types (bags, film etc)
Many types of Antiblock are available, ranging from synthetic silica formulations to give high clarity, through natural silica to offer high performance where cost is important and clarity can be compromised, to calcium carbonate where simple Anti-blocking without clarity is required.

• Combination masterbatches for the complete solution
Polyolefin and other plastic films have a tendency to adhere together, often making it difficult to separate layers. This adhesion between film layers, called blocking, is an inherent property of some polymers. Anti-blocking additives can be added to the plastic to minimize this adhesion and so lower the blocking force between layers. Once compounded into aplastic these additives create a microroughsurface which reduces the adhesion between film layers and lowers the blocking tendency.
• Number of particles of antiblock at the film surface.
• Size of the antiblock particles
The choice of anti-block depends upon the polymer being used and the quality requirements of the end product.
This is an amorphous form of hydrous silicon dioxide with high microporosity, a hydroxylated surface, and a high surface area. Synthetic silica is used in high-quality films and as it has a refractive index close to that of PE and PP it is possible to produce films with high transparency and clarity.
This is a naturally occurring mineral mainly consisting of calcium carbonate together sometimes with magnesium carbonate depending on the deposit. It tends to be used as an anti-block in lower quality film applications.
Natural silica is a sedimentary rock composed of the skeletons of single-celled diatoms. The skeletons are made of amorphous silica and have a wide range of porous structures and shapes. Impurities such as water and organics con easily be removed, however, the removal of quartz is more complex so natural silicas tend to contain differing levels of quartz depending on the deposit.
Tole is a magnesium hydro silicate. It has very low hardness and a refractive index close to that of PE and PP. Deposits ore found around the world and although it contains certain levels of impurities these can be minimized through refining.
