Handbook of Antiblocking, Release and Slip Additives contains 18 chapters, each addressing a specific aspect of properties and applications of antiblocking, release, and slip agents:
- Information on the use of additives in various polymers is divided into the following coverage: types and concentrations, effect on polymer and/or other additives, and typical formulations
- Information on use of additives in various products is divided into the following coverage: types and concentrations, reasons for use, advantages and disadvantages of additive use,effect on product properties, and examples of formulations
- Processing methods are discussed using the following breakdown: types and concentrations, effect on process, effect on product properties, advantages and disadvantages of additive use,examples of formulations
The Handbook of Antiblocking, Release, and Slip Additives is the first ever book written on this subject. These chemicals are of high industrial importance because of their widespread applications in industrial and consumer products.
A complete, up-to-date analysis of the literature and patents available on these additives is included in the book. The book considers all essential aspects of chemistry, physical properties, influence on properties of final products, formulations, methods of incorporation, analysis, and effects on health and environment.
