Slip Additives Market Size, Industry Share, Demand and Forecasts 2023

Posted by Rishab Gupta on December 11th, 2019

Market Synopsis

Slip additives are used in polymer films to reduce the coefficient of friction (COF) and enhance either processing, performance in fabrication or downstream packaging equipment, or the end-use performance of polymers. These additives alter the properties and performance of polymers by migrating to the surface of the polyolefin films and reducing the COF. The effectiveness of slip additives is normally determined by the COF they allow. Slip additives also reduce film-to-film and film-to-metal surface friction, offering resistance to interference in the downstream process, and provide thermal stability, thereby, minimizing adhesion, aiding separation, improving efficiency, and reducing processing costs. These characteristics have led to the use of slip additives in plastics and polymer manufacturing.

Key Players

Fine Organics (India), Croda International PLC (UK), PMC Group Inc. (US), the Lubrizol Corporation (US), Afron (US), BASF SE (Germany), Emery Oleochemicals (Malaysia), Honeywell International Inc. (US), Evonik Industries AG (Germany), Altana (Germany), and Lonza (Switzerland) are some of the major players in the global slip additives market.

The global slip additives market has been segmented, by type, into fatty amides and waxes and polysiloxanes. The fatty amides segment has been further divided into erucamide, oleamide, stearamide, and behenamide. The segment dominated the global slip additives market, by type, in 2017 and is expected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the wide application scope of fatty amides slip additives and excellent results in packaging and films. Based on carrier resin, the global slip additives market has been segregated into LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, and PP. The LLDPE segment held the largest market share in 2017.
