Abstract
A masterbatch having epoxy-functionalized silicone as a slip additive, the polypropylene compound that the silicone-containing masterbatch has been let down into, and the plastic articles and films from such compounds having improved slip properties are disclosed. The improved slip properties are evidenced by (1) essentially no migration of the slip additive 12 weeks after manufacturing, (2) a dynamic coefficient of friction value of less than 0.4 and a static coefficient of friction 0.6 or less within the first day of manufacturing according to the ASTM D1894-01 method, and (3) less than 15% change in the dynamic and static coefficient of friction values between the first day of manufacturing and 20 days after manufacturing.
