OPTICAL PERFORMANCE

chart
click chart to close

With refractive indices that parallel clarity grade polyolefins, MINBLOC® operates nearly transparently in the polymer matrix. This optical advantage is attributed to a uniquely occurring combination of refractive index and particle morphology. When enhanced by a proprietary refining technology, MINBLOC delivers antiblocking functionality with the industry's lowest haze values and excellent clarity and gloss performance.

By the very nature of their operation, antiblocking additives introduce surface irregularities that diminish film optical properties through the light scattering effect. Independent analyses confirm that the statistical control of MINBLOC particle extremes operate synergistically to preserve the optical properties of barefoot resins; even in hazier resin types and stickier film systems. Traditionally selected for blown and cast high-pressure LDPE high clarity packaging films, MINBLOC optical properties are especially advantageous in butene, hexene and octene LLDPE resins, high clarity metallocene catalyzed products, and a variety of co-polymer and blended resins.
