The headquarters and seat of Greubel Forsey in La Chaux-de-Fonds is one of the most fascinating buildings in the entire Swiss watch industry. The centerpiece of the facility is a 17th-century farmhouse, purchased in 2007 by company founders Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey. Throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, the duo worked gradually to expand the building into its current form, which features a tall modernist glass-walled studio swelling from the side of the once quaint log home.

The Science Behind Slip Additives in Polymers
Slip additives are essential chemical agents used in the plastics and packaging industry to reduce surface friction and improve the processability of polymer-based materials. By lowering the coefficient of friction (COF), these additives enable films, sheets, and molded components to slide more easily across surfaces during production, handling, and end use.
One of the primary applications of slip additives is in flexible packaging films, such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). Without these additives, films often stick together, creating difficulties in high-speed packaging lines. Slip additives ensure smooth separation, better machinability, and improved efficiency, making them indispensable for industries like food packaging, consumer goods, and industrial manufacturing.
Slip additives work by migrating to the surface of the polymer film, where they form a thin lubricating layer that reduces friction between contacting surfaces. Commonly used slip additives include fatty acid amides such as erucamide and oleamide, which are highly effective and widely adopted in the plastics industry.
Beyond packaging, slip additives also play a role in automotive, electronics, and agricultural films, where durability, smooth handling, and reduced wear are critical. They not only improve processing performance but also enhance the aesthetic appeal of films by minimizing scratches and surface damage.
The demand for slip additives is increasing as manufacturers seek solutions that enhance efficiency, safety, and sustainability. With growing focus on eco-friendly materials, there is also a shift toward bio-based slip additives that maintain performance while reducing environmental impact.
In summary, slip additives are vital in ensuring smooth processing, cost efficiency, and high-quality performance in polymer films and other plastic applications. As industries move toward faster production and sustainable solutions, the importance of slip additives will continue to grow.
