Paper
Two of Michelman’s water-based paper coatings are popular for improving the angle of skid of flexible paper packaging:
CleanGrip®, a sprayable silica, eliminates the build-up and clogging associated with alumina non-skids. It is gluable with most hot-melt adhesives, and printable with most inks.
Softak® imparts a suede-like feel after drying, and increases the angle of skid of paper to 30-45 degrees. It is easy to apply with conventional corrugated coaters or offline, gluable with a wide range of hot-melt or cold-set adhesives, and print receptive.

As a heat-sealant, Michem® Prime improves line speeds and cuts costs through a low heat-seal temperature and a high degree of hot tack. It provides thinner films than extrusion coatings, and can be pattern applied for further cost reduction.
Properties That Affect Paper
CleanGrip® 111: CleanGrip® 111 is an alumina based, nonskid coating designed to reduce the slipperiness of shipping containers by providing excellent slide angles. CleanGrip® 111 has a low pH that does not resolubilize ink and can prevent ink smearing. This product is gluable with both hot melt and cold set glues.
CleanGrip® 2100: CleanGrip® 2100 is a silica based, sprayable nonskid coating designed to reduce the slipperiness of shipping containers by providing excellent slide angles. Because CleanGrip® 2100 is easily cleanable, it takes the worry and mess out of running nonskids. This product is gluable using both hot melt and cold set adhesives.
CleanGrip® 2103: CleanGrip® 2103 is a high solids, sprayable nonskid coating designed to reduce the slipperiness of shipping containers. It provides excellent slide angles and meets most demanding specs. Because CleanGrip® 2103 is easily cleanable, it takes the worry and mess out of running nonskids. This product is both hot melt and cold set gluable.
GlossCoat™ 100 BL: GlossCoat™ 100BL is a fully formulated, flexo appliable nonskid coating designed for kraft, mottled and bleached substrates.

Michem® Prime 5931: Ethylene acrylic acid dispersion
SofTak® 118: SofTak® 118 is a gluable nonskid coating with good scuff resistance, water resistance, and moderate oil resistance.
SofTak® 126: SofTak® 126 is a gluable nonskid coating with the added benefit of good scuff and water resistance, oil resistance and a "leather like" feel. This product is effective for slip or tier sheets as well as decorative packaging.
SofTak® 1637: SofTak® 1637 is a gluable nonskid coating with the added benefit of good scuff and water resistance, oil resistance and a "leather-like" feel. This product is also effective for slip or tier sheets.
SofTak® 317: SofTak® 317 is a gluable nonskid coating with excellent angle of skid. These properties are useful for slip or tier sheets, or a variety of other applications requiring a non-skid surface.
SofTak® 326: SofTak® 326 is an excellent nonskid coating that also has a fair amount of water resistance. It is often used on slip/tier sheets or a variety of other applications that require a high COF surface.
