How to choose the right slip package for film-adhesive lamination
Fatty-amide slip blooms to the film surface. Two-part urethanes scavenge some of it; treat to at least 38 dynes/cm before you laminate. Call 800-249-0337.

These notes come from converters, not a full lab study. Test them on your structure.
Allow 200–300 ppm slip to be scavenged by two-part urethane systems. Moisture-cure urethanes (polyether type) scavenge much more. Polyester systems do not show a scavenge effect.
Slip in the films tries to reach equilibrium through the ink and the adhesive bond line. Erucamide is the usual fatty amide in PE. Treat to a minimum of 38 dynes/cm for adhesion — corona, ozone, flame, or plasma.
