Ampacet Corporation products

Ampacet offers a wide variety of antiblock masterbatches, all designed to meet specific performance criteria such as blocking performance or optical properties. Blocking most commonly occurs when two pieces of film are pressed together such as on a take-up roll or after stacking finished converted films. Antiblock additives improve the handling and converting of film by minimizing film-to-film contact. Traditional inorganic antiblocks are mostly based on siliceous minerals, which include diatomaceous earth and talc. Other inorganic antiblocks include nepheline syenite and engineered material.

Antistatic masterbatches provide permanent or long-term electrostatic dissipative control properties in a polymer and are widely used in electronic component package films and consumer product packaging to prevent dust build-up. Antistatic products can contain migratory chemicals and non-migratory polymers.

Designed especially for the bi-orientation process, the new BIAX4CE™ additive range includes antiblock, antistatic, migrating and non-migrating slip, as well as high performance antifog masterbatches to manufacture biaxially-oriented polyethylene (BOPE) films.
