The root cause of water droplet formation is the difference in surface tension between the film and the water. Another example of the difference between higher and lower contact angles is an automobile which has a wax finish and the beading of water after a rain shower. BEHAVIOR OF ANTI-FOG CONCENTRATES IN LAMINATED BARRIER FILMS Different anti-fog masterbatch concentrates can be formulated for different types of packaging film.
