Mobility Aid for higher productivity and yields

With our mobility aid additive masterbatch release, scuffing, and sticking issues are a thing of the past.

Bottles must rotate freely as they pass through the production conveyor, as forced rotation caused by friction can lead to a blockage on the line. The new SUKANO® Mobility Aid solution is provided as a solid PET masterbatch that is blended with virgin PET or RPET material during molding or processing. Even at low concentrations, the masterbatch disperses consistently through the PET material, reducing its coefficient of friction (COF), and modifying the surface texture with a microstructure.

Advantages of the mobility aid additive masterbatch

Eliminates issues during secondary processing steps, which require adhesion
Avoids the risk microbiological contaminations by aqueous coatings that require antimicrobial additives or application in clean-room environment
Reduced costs and cleaning requirements associated to spray coatings residues on bottles and machinery
No interaction of masterbatch formula with other additives
Constant and uniform mobility aid performance by controlled additive distribution
Design flexibility no need of customized mold surface
No risk of the spray contaminating the bottle content
Material remains recyclable, no contamination of the recycling PET clear stream
Surface tension <40 dyne
