Quaternary Ammonium Salt is a dual-functional additive that provides both slip and anti-static properties to plastic films and polymer compounds. It is commonly used in flexible packaging, agricultural films, and other thermoplastic applications to reduce friction, prevent blocking, and dissipate static charge. This combination of Glycerol Monostearate (GMS) and a quaternary ammonium salt enhances surface performance and processing efficiency.
| Property | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Appearance | White powder or granular form |
| Active Content | ≥ 90% |
| Melting Point | 65 – 75 °C |
| Moisture Content | ≤ 2.0% |
| Iodine Value | ≤ 3 g I₂/100g |
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Film sticking together or blocking | Prevents adhesion between layers with slip effect |
| Poor handling and film separation | Reduces friction for smooth handling and improved winding |
| Electrostatic accumulation during processing | Provides static dissipation for safer handling |
| Inconsistent film surface quality | Improves smoothness and uniformity |
Q1: How is GMS + Quaternary Ammonium Salt used in films?
It is typically added at 0.3% – 1.0% depending on the required slip and anti-static properties.
Q2: Will this additive affect the transparency of films?
Minimal effect on transparency when used in appropriate dosages.
Q3: Is it safe for food packaging applications?
Yes, food-grade versions are available upon request and are compliant with relevant standards
