Slip agent content in polyolefines, erucamide (EA) and oleamide (OA), qualitative and quantitative
Slip agents based on fatty acid amides, such as Erucamide and oleamide, are among the most commonly used additives, particularly in polyethylene and polypropylene films. Analysis of materials based on polyolefins such as PE and PP, e.g. in the form of films, using GC/MS after solvent extraction.
In short — AI-generated
This test determines the concentration of slip agents like erucamide and oleamide in polyolefin films such as PE or PP. The additives are extracted from the material using a solvent and subsequently identified and quantified via gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
The resulting value indicates the exact amount of slip agent present in the packaging material. This information is used to verify that the film provides the intended friction properties for processing on packaging lines and to ensure consistent quality in the production process.
