ABSTRACT

Cling additives are those incorporated in thermoplastic films to improve the adhesion of film layers to themselves or to the surface of a container.

1. Application area Food-packaging film Stretch wrapping film

2. Level usage Food-packaging film 0.5-1.0% Stretch wrapping film 1.00/0

The benefits of Imperial Chemistry Industries' (ICI) specialty chemicals cling additives include

Effectiveness at low levels of addition. Wide acceptance under regulations relating to food-packaging applications. Improvement in film transparency. Compatibility with other cling additives (e.g., polyisobutylene), and they can

be used for fine-tuning of film adhesion and tackiness.
