CLEAR-BLOC® 100

CLEAR-BLOC® 100 is produced from high purity ore provides high brightness, clarity, low iron content, and low surface area for primary use as an anti-block additive in LDPE and LLDPE film applications where superior blocking, greater polymer stability and improved optical properties are required. CLEAR-BLOC® 100 is platy, hydrophobic, non-abrasive, chemically inert and is suitable for food contact applications.
