Glycolube® AFA-1
Glycolube® AFA-1
Glycolube® AFA-1 imparts excellent anti-fog and anti-static properties to PVC food wrap films and other films, far exceeding the performance of conventional systems. Its highly efficient anti-fog activity also allows it to be used at significantly reduced loading.
This material imparts outstanding static dissipation properties to PVC films. Glycolube® AFA-1 achieves this performance without the adverse effects on optical properties and thermal stability which can be caused by quaternary or amine anti-static agents. It offers a substantial increase in PVC thermal stability while having no effect on optical properties.
Glycolube® AFA-1 is also an effective anti-fog agent in polyethylene and polypropylene.
Features & Benefits
