No More Plastics Sticking With Anti Block Masterbatch
What is Blocking in Plastics ?
Blocking is an undesirable interlayer adhesion phenomenon observed in polymer films and sheets, where two adjacent layers stick together, making separation difficult. This adhesion often results from surface smoothness, high temperature during winding, or static pressure during storage. Such blocking not only disrupts the film handling process but also deteriorates optical clarity, mechanical properties, and surface quality of the final product.
In high-performance film manufacturing especially LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, PP, and BOPP films—the occurrence of blocking can significantly impact productivity, winding efficiency, and downstream processing.
To overcome this, Bajaj Anti Block Masterbatch provides a highly effective and technically engineered solution by reducing film-to-film adhesion through controlled surface roughness modification.
What is Anti Block Masterbatch?
Bajaj Anti Block Masterbatch is a precisely formulated additive masterbatch designed to minimize the blocking tendency between adjacent film layers. It incorporates micronized inorganic additives—such as silica, talc, or diatomaceous earth—uniformly dispersed in a polymer carrier resin (typically LDPE, LLDPE, or PP).
These micro-additives create microscopic protrusions (asperities) on the film surface, reducing the real contact area between two polymer layers. As a result, the coefficient of friction (COF) is reduced, and the film exhibits improved slip characteristics and easy unwind performance.
How Does Anti Block Masterbatch Work?
The working mechanism of anti-blocking relies on a surface roughness enhancement approach. When the additive masterbatch is incorporated during film extrusion, its inorganic particles migrate toward the surface layer of the polymer matrix.
Key technical effects include:
Reduction in real contact area between film surfaces.
Decrease in van der Waals and electrostatic forces responsible for adhesion.
Improvement in film winding, cutting, and lamination processes.
Controlled COF values for consistent machine performance.
In combination with Slip Additive Masterbatch, a balanced COF optimization can be achieved, ensuring both easy handling and stable stacking without blocking.
