Friedrichshafen, Germany, 2017 Nian 10 Yue 17 Ri - Dow DuPont Materials Science business unit of Dow's high performance organic silicon business unit today in 2017 the German Plastics Industry Exhibition ( Fakuma 2017 ) (Stand: A3-3217 ) Launched the new Dow Corning ^® (Dow Corning) HMB-6301 masterbatch

Christophe Paulo,Global Market Leader of Dow High Performance Silicones, said: “ When BOPP film is used for packaging production (such as forming cans and sealing), friction will have a negative impact on the appearance of the film, causing it to deform or even break, thereby affecting yield, which is a chronic problem

New technology overcomes traditional problems

Because of its excellent smoothness, organic waxes such as erucamide are widely used in BOPP films to improve packaging production

Different from other slip additives, Dow Corning ^® (Dow Corning) HMB-6301 masterbatch needs to be added to the surface layer of BOPP film.

Dow Corning ^® (Dow Corning) HMB-6301 masterbatch is specially added to BOPP and PP extruded film (mainly used in the production of food bags, packaging materials, packaging and bags), in line with EU food contact material regulations and US FDA food contact standards, applicable Used in successive drawing production lines and simultaneous drawing production lines
