Laboratory for analysis and expertise

Slip additive analysis laboratory

Master the slip properties of your plastic products with FILAB

The addition of slip additives gives polymers specific properties, both during production (extrusion, molding) and in the finished product.
In polyethylene films, for example, these additives make it possible to:

  • Reduce the Coefficient of Friction (COF)
  • Maintain the product’s gloss, transparency, and clarity
  • Improve mold release and handling of plastic parts
