Armoslip® CP is a refined oleamide with low color and low water content, offering excellent slip effects and moderate anti-blocking performance. It is commonly used as a slip additive in polyethylene (PE) film applications, improving processing characteristics and reducing friction. It also provides excellent flow properties, scratch resistance, and adhesion. Armoslip® CP can be used as a lubricant, defoamer, and dye solubilizer, and is compatible with ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and polypropylene (PP) resins. This product is part of the fatty acid amides chemical family and is available in both bead and powder forms.

Product Applications

When Armoslip® CP is thoroughly mixed with the polymer it greatly improves processing behavior and endperformance by reducing friction and adhesion forces between polymer and processing equipment and polymer to polymer surfaces.  
Due to a continuous migration a thin film of Armoslip® CP is formed on the surface of the finished product and this provides the excellent slip effect and moderate anti-blocking performance. It is generally preferred in standard formulations due to its quick migration and low cost. The mechanical and optical properties of the end product are not altered significantly.

  • Armoslip® CP can be applied in a wide range of thermoplastic polymers. The addition level varies from 0.05 to 0.3% depending on the slip effect needed and the presence of other additives.
  • Armoslip® CP act as demolding agents and offers scratch resistance in highly filled PP compounds.  
  • Armoslip CP improves the viscosity of rubber compounds.
  • Armoslip® CP facilitates over-printing and wet-printing when incorporated into ink formulations. These inks have improved slip and anti-blocking characteristics, along with better adhesion and resistance to both scratching and rub-off without undue increase of viscosity.
  • Armoslip® CP may be used to improve the penetration, flexibility and slip or seal properties of wax and resin coated paper and paperboard. 
  • Armoslip® CP also may be used in adhesives, coatings, closures and EVA copolymers; as defoamer in paper and paperboard manufacturing; as a dye solubilizer; and as surface lubricant in the manufacture of metal articles.  
  • Armoslip® CP show uniform particle size, providing excellent flow behavior Armoslip CP show uniform particle size, providing excellent flow behavior, enabling easy dosing and mixing.
  • Armoslip® CP is preferred for more demanding applications, as it offers high purity, low color and very low water content compared to other oleamides.
