Anti-block / Anti-tack Agents

Based on 911 products - Last update on the Jun 26, 2025

Anti-block / anti-tack agents are white or translucent particles engineered with precise surface chemistry that reduce surface friction, prevents adhesion, and minimizes static buildup in plastic films and sheets. Characterized by their ability to migrate to material surfaces, they generate ultra-thin protective layers that enhance processability and end-product performance. Primary applications include food packaging, agricultural films, construction membranes, and industrial wrapping materials. 

Alternatives to anti-block / anti-tack agents include polymer-based additives, wax-based additives, and silica-based additives. Sub-types include synthetic wax-based agents, silicone-based formulations, and specialty chemical blends.

Hiformer Slip + Antistatic

by Avient (Formerly PolyOne)

Hiformer Slip + Antistatic by Avient (Formerly PolyOne) is a slip and antistatic agent designed to deliver practicality, consistency, and operational reliability in BOPP film production. Developed in a carrier that is fully compatible with both the extrusion process and the resin, it enables the production of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films with a coefficient of friction (CoF) between 0.20 and 0.35 while ensuring excellent static control. <br> <ul style="padding-left: 40px;"><li>These features help maximize efficiency during downstream processes such as printing, filling, and conversion, while supporting a cleaner, more stable, and predictable production environment.</li> <li>It is dosed directly into a flange located at the feed zone through a cannula connected to a high precision dosing unit. </li> <li>It enables consistent dosing repeatability through a high-precision dosing unit.</li> <li>Its low LDR minimizes impact on the customer's process and provides greater CoF stability throughout the film. </li> <li>In addition, Hiformer Slip + Antistatic enhances optical properties such as gloss and transparency while increasing productivity through reduced shear, as demonstrated by higher machine RPM.</li> <li>Recommended dosage level is 0.3-0.5%.</li></ul>

PALMOWAX Ethylene Bis-Oleamide (EBO)

by KLK OLEO

PALMOWAX Ethylene Bis-Oleamide (EBO) by KLK OLEO is a slip agent, dispersant, internal and external lubricant for thermoplastic, polyolefin and elastomer without altering the base polymer resin’s properties. It is a good mold release agent, flow- and surface modifier. It could be used as an anti-tack agent for the production of EVA resin during the pelletizing process. <br> <ul style="padding-left: 40px;"><li>It is produced from sustainable plant source.</li><li>For multi-layer film application, it is also incorporated into EVA resin to enhance the anti-blocking property.</li> <li>It is suitable for polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) and rubber applications.</li> <li>Recommended dosage level of PALMOWAX Ethylene Bis-Oleamide (EBO) is 0.5-2.0%. </li></ul>

PALMOWAX Oleyl Palmitamide (OPA)

by KLK OLEO

PALMOWAX Oleyl Palmitamide (OPA) by KLK OLEO acts as a slip agent, dispersant, external lubricant, flow improver, internal lubricant, matting agent, processing aid, surface finish improver and anti-blocking agent. It offers excellent surface migration and dispersion properties, while its addition to asphalt enhances viscoelasticity and raises the softening point which is ideal for road construction. It also enhances thermal stability and processing efficiency in complex systems. It has several polymer applications including ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), acetal, nylon/polyamide, PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), PC (polycarbonate), PE (polyethylene), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), PU (polyurethane), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), rubber, SBC (styrene block copolymer), thermoplastic polyester, wood plastic composite (WPC).
