High-clarity slip antiblock, Product 102286 eliminates loss in clarity that often accompanies antiblock use by raising film clarity well above that of base resin. Product makes film up to 65% clearer 50% more glossy than base polymer. Mineral-based additive has narrow particle size distribution and spherical particles that have less impact on haze than irregular particles normally found in agents.
