Prolonged storage over 35 C (95 F) can cause some caking and discoloration.

2 When stored under the recommended storage conditions, Armoslip E. beads will remain within the AkzoNobel specifications for a period of at least six months after delivery. Packaging and The standard packaging is 20 kg net in a PE bag. A full pallet carries 1000. transport kg net. Both packaging and transport meet the international regulations. For the availability of other packed quantities contact your AkzoNobel representative. Armoslip E beads is classified as a non-dangerous good according to national and international transport regulations. Safety and handling Please refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for detailed information on the safe storage, use and handling of Armoslip E beads . This information should be thoroughly reviewed prior to acceptance of this product.

3 The MSDS is available at PA 2008. Page 1 of 3. Food approvals Armoslip E is approved for application in articles for indirect food contact and articles to carry water in various countries all over the world. Some examples are (maximum allowed levels in % w/w can vary per application): EEC No limitations for all polymers Australia PE and PP: Japan Containers: PE and PP: 1%, PS, HIPS, ABS: USA Films: , closures: 5%, other applications: no limitations Application Armoslip E is a refined vegetable-based (rapeseed oil) erucamide with low color (typical at production 90 Pt-Co and low water content (typical 100. mg/kg). Armoslip E provides excellent slip effect and good anti-blocking performance. When Armoslip E is thoroughly mixed with a polymer it reduces friction between the polymer and the processing equipment and also between polymer and polymer surfaces.)

4 Due to a continuous migration a thin film of Armoslip E is formed on the surface of the finished product and this provides excellent slip and good anti-blocking performance. The mechanical and optical properties of the end-products are not altered significantly. Armoslip E has a lower volatility and better high temperature stability than oleamide. This makes it especially useful for PP film application since it allows higher processing temperatures. The higher molecular weight of the erucamide causes a reduced migration in comparison to oleamide, which is beneficial if printing or sealing is carried out directly after film processing. Armoslip E can be applied in a wide range of thermoplastic polymers. The addition level varies from to depending on the slip and anti- block effect needed and other additives present Armoslip E facilitates over-printing and wet-printing when incorporated into ink formulations.

5 These inks have improved slip and anti-blocking characteristics, along with better adhesion and resistance to both scratching and rub-off without undue increase of viscosity. Armoslip E may be used to improve penetration, flexibility and slip or seal properties of wax and resin coated paper and paperboard. Armoslip E also may be used in adhesives, coatings, closures and EVA copolymers; as defoamer in paper and paperboard manufacturing; as a dye solubilizer and as surface lubricant in the manufacture of metal articles. PA 2008. Page 2 of 3. Armoslip E due to its uniform particle size shows fast homogenization when mixed with other additives and/or polymers. Armoslip E is preferred for more demanding applications, as it offers higher purity and better color stability than the technical grades.
