Masil® Ultra SL1000 is a water-based, zero-VOCadditive designed to improve slip and mar resistance in waterborne coatings for food packaging. The additive is reportedly the first to be introduced as part of the new Ultra extension of the line of Masil silicone additives.
“With the new Masil Ultra platform, we are creating a springboard for unique chemistries we are developing to provide an ideal blend of characteristics for very particular industry needs,” said James Davis, vice president. “In food packaging applications, manufacturers must meet strict requirements for indirect food contact and, with rising concerns about the potential migration of materials from packaging to food, careful materials selection has become even more critical. Many of the current slip-mar additives available do not have the extensive FDA clearances that SL1000 does. Plus it has been optimized for easy handling and incorporation, as well as superior slip and mar resistance.”
