About FLYADD
FLYADD masterbatches carry film and moulding additives at controlled concentration, so processors can add exactly the function they need at the machine. Grades are halogen- and antimony-free by default.
Typical properties of the range
| Property | Typical value | Method |
|---|---|---|
| Carrier | LDPE, LLDPE or PP, matched to the polymer | — |
| Active content | 5–70 %, declared per grade | Formulation |
| Moisture | ≤ 0.1 % (except AD-DS) | Loss on drying |
| Granule size | 2–3 mm | Sieve |
Values for the FLYADD range; the certificate of analysis for AD-DS gives the release values.
How to use
- Slip and antistatic
- Effect develops as the additive migrates to the surface, typically within 24–48 hours
- Agricultural film
- Use acid-resistant AD-UV grades where films meet sulfur or chlorine agrochemicals
- Combinations
- Check interactions (for example antistatic with slip) in a trial before production
