However, plasticized PLA can be used for such a purpose (27). The plasticizer is Eastar Bio Ultra or an Ecoflex t5rpe. These substances are actually polyesters from terephthalic acid, adipic acid, and 1,4-butanediol. In addition, PP may be added in amoimts of 7.5%. Other suitable additives include processing aids and antioxidants, as well as slip agents and antiblocking agents. 

Slip agents are often referred to as lubricants. However, they should not be confused with the lubricants which act as processing aids. While most slip agents can be used as lubricants, many lubricants cannot be used as slip agents since they do not always function externally. 

Processing aids are typically surface-active agents that are added by the plastics converters/transformers to improve throughput and alter the surface properties of the finished article. Additives in this class include lubricants, slip agents, antiblocks, and mold-release agents (see Release Agents). 

Additives used in final products Antistatics carbon black, copper complex of polyacrylic add, ethoxylated amines, fatty diethanol amines, glycerol monostearate, graphite, ionomer, lauric diethanolamide, polyethylene glycol, quaternary ammonium compound, trineoalkoxy zirconate Antiblocking diatomaceous earth, natural silica, slloxane spheres, synthetic silica, talc, zeolite Blowing agents Release stearyl erucamide Slip erucamide, ethylene bisoleamide, oleamide Process aid Thermal stibullzers UV stabilizers ... 

As well as the direct production of polymers, vegetable oil derivatives have other uses in the polymer industry, for example as additives. Materials made from vegetable oil have many uses and are used to produce anti-static, slip, and plasticising agents, stabilisers, processing aids and as flame retardants (see Section 2.4.). They can also be incorporated into the manufacture of polyamides, polyesters and polyurethanes.
