Anti-Fog Masterbatches
Anti-Fog Masterbatches
Fog is occurring when the condensation water vapor converts to tiny droplets on the surface of thin plastic films. This can be of 2 types either Cold or Hot fog. This happens either by condensation of water on the surface of plastic either by packing a cold material or by a hot material having lot of steam in it. As offered by many plastic raw material company solutions, effective anti-fog masterbatches are key to solving this challenge in food-grade and agricultural packaging.Â
AddKan Anti-Fog Masterbatch is a Glycerol Ester based additive which alters the degree of wetting by preventing the condensation of water in the form of small droplets. It minimizes the surface tension resulting in a non-scattering film of water instead of single droplets thereby increasing the transparency. It is a very effective solution to problems related to the formation of water droplets on plastic films used in food packaging. This solution works seamlessly alongside other additives like antistatic masterbatch, which helps in minimizing static charge buildup on plastic surfaces.
This additive works especially well in high-humidity environments like greenhouses and refrigerated food wraps. By maintaining film clarity, it helps preserve both product visibility and freshness, which is crucial for consumer-facing applications.

FAQs
1. Can anti-fog masterbatches be used with other additives in multilayer films?
Yes, anti-fog masterbatches are often used in combination with slip, antiblock, and antifog additives in multilayer film structures. Compatibility depends on film type and processing method.
2. How long does the anti-fog effect last in packaging films?
The effectiveness of anti-fog properties depends on dosage, film thickness, and storage conditions, but typically lasts for weeks to months under normal usage
