slip additives

Slip additives are special chemicals added to materials like plastics to improve their surface properties. They help surfaces slide past each other more easily, reducing sticking and making products easier to handle or separate—such as films, packaging, or molds. By migrating to the surface during manufacturing, slip additives create a thin, lubricating layer that enhances process efficiency, reduces defects, and improves product quality without changing the material's core properties. In essence, they act like tiny lubricants inside the material, facilitating smoother production and use.
