Many plastic products are visually pleasing when first released from production lines, being colorful and with reliable properties. After a year spent outside, however, they will turn out to look totally different, having changed their color by becoming yellowish, faded, fragile, cracked, and even breakable with bending. The problem, as a rule, does not lie in the resin, but in the system of its UV-protection. As a supplier of functional masterbatches with American technology and about 20 years of experience in the industry, we know very well that the requirements to masterbatch UV protection vary totally from region to region, altitude and period of life span of the product. The system which is efficient in Europe would hardly work in the Middle East. Masterbatch for packaging does not provide the necessary UV-protection in case of outdoor application. This is the reason why we do not produce a universal product, but manufacture different grades of masterbatch uv stabilizer.

This problem is quite common among many film producers: same machine, same resin, same formulation — no problem today but tomorrow, the film rolls will be bonded, hard to unwind, and even need to be unwound manually. The immediate reaction of most people will be to check the temperature setting, drawing rate, or cooling system. However, from our experience dealing with film customers for decades, what really matters in making a good film is actually its slip masterbatch. Not only will an ideal slip masterbatch help lower the coefficient of friction, but it should also be capable of achieving a good balance between dispersibility, heat resistance, migration rate, and resin compatibility. In particular for high-speed cast film, biaxially oriented film, and clear packaging film, if the slip system is not properly made, there will likely be haze, blooming, and poor printability issues.
