Antifog Masterbatch
Product Description:
|
Antifog Masterbatch based in LLDPE, LDPE resin. Active
additive contain rapidly migrates to film surface, reducing the contact angle
of condensed water droplets, giving anti-fogging effect to finale product,
condensation of water vapor is created by a temperature gradient up to and
across a film.
The appearance of condensation is also affected by the
difference in surface tension between condensed water vapor and the film’s
surface. Technofill Additives offering Antifogs MB are use in food packaging to
improve the aesthetics by reducing the beaded appearance of fogged sheet or
film.
Technofill Additives are use a high performance property and
blend of ingredients additives in Antifog MB that migrate to the surface of the
film or sheet and reduce the surface tension of the water droplets that may
form. Internal additives must maintain a balance of incompatibility that allows
them to migrate while not easily washing’ off and out of the polymer matrix.
They must also comply with durability criteria that will give them a time period
of effectiveness that is suitable to the application.
Polyolefin’s such as PE and PP have a surface that is
particularly hydrophobic and the intent of the Antifog is to increase the
surface energy. When the surface tension is decreased water beads tend to ‘wet
out’ meaning the contact angle is reduced. The reduced contact angle improves
transparency and negative aesthetic qualities are reduced.
Antifog MB takes into consideration the film thickness,
process conditions, service conditions, processing methods, and regulatory
requirements when prescribing an Antifog masterbatch.
All of TECHNOFILL masterbatches are pelletized, dry, and free
flowing making them suitable for film or sheet packaging in cold and hot food
contact applications. They provide excellent clarity and thermal stability at
low use levels.
Mode of Action:
|
Antifog
Masterbatch is result of combination of two chemistry, which prevents formation
of water droplets
èPrevents
water droplet cloudiness meets heat stability, low volatility.
èPrevents
vopour (pressure of water) formation during film production without yellowing
effect and any
negative influence over transparency &
odor of the films
Benefits of Antifog Masterbatch:
|
èIts
allows perfect transparency of food packaging.
èIts improves visual attractiveness of
content.
èFood quality does not deteriorate for
longer time.
èUseful in eliminating Hot and Cold fog
formation.
èFDA approved. • Improves the light
transmission in agriculture film resulting in higher plant growth.
èReduces the burning of plants and crop
spoilage.
èTrue universal compatibility in LDPE,
LLDPEPP, PVC, PVDC, and EVA films.
Material Characteristics:
|
èExcellent
improved degradation & surface staining.
èExcellent improved processing speed
& higher production rates.
èEasy
processing without affecting the mechanical properties of the end products.
