COMPOSITIONS AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE SLIP OF POLYOLEFINS AND THE ADHESION OF WATER BASED INKS TO POLYOLEFINS

摘要

A method for increasing the slip of polyolefins and improving the adhesion o f water based inks of polyolefins by incorpo- rating into the polyolefin an effective amount of a lactamide having formula (I) wherein R is alkenyl having from about 12 to about 22 carbon atoms. Optionally, there can be included with the lactamide a finely divided inorganic material. Also disclosed are compositions of matter comprising a polyolefin, such as homopolymers and copolymers of ethylene and propylene, the afor- edescribed lactamide and optionally a finely divided inorganic material. Als o described is the new compound, N-erucyl lacta- mide.
