Antiblock Agents Selection

By Paul Seemuth

Blocking is a very common problem that occurs when adhesion develops between two smooth layers of film placed in contact with each other. Adding antiblock agents / anti-slip agents resolve this by forming barriers between surface layers and modifying frictional properties of the surface. Uncover the role of antiblock agents in polymers, their types and get tips to select the right antiblock agent for elastomers, films and rubbers.
