Exfola™ is an additive for polyolefin, such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), that combines the characteristics of polyolefin and silicone. Exfola™ is most often used as a surface modifier for injection molded parts, or extruded articles and film. Enhanced surface properties include:
- Releasability
- Water Repellency
- Oil Repellency
- Lower Coefficient of Friction
- Abrasion Resistance
- Surface Smoothness
Exfola™ is widely used as a surface modifier of polyolefin film, sheet, containers, and packages. The product is available in pellet form, and in two types:
- Polyethylene-based (PE) Masterbatch
- Polypropylene-based (PP) Masterbatch
