Kemamide B/BR. CrodamideBR. Antiblock

Application:

Mainly used as anti-sticking agent and anti-scratch agent for CPP, BOPP, BOPET, BOPS, BOPA, BOPO, BOPLA, BOPEN, POF and composite film;
for LLDPE, LDPE, EVA and other openings, anti-sticking and smoothing agent;
as a foam PE additives, as well as internal and external PVC lubricant;
used as engineering plastics (PA6, PA66) bright mold release agent and mold flow enhancer;
thermoplastic elastomer release agent and lubricant;
as a brightener, lubricating dispersant, smooth agent and anti-scratch agent.
