Key Features

ALUGEL 30 HEP is produced from a high quality, vegetable-derived fatty acid.

Product Performance
  • ALUGEL 30 HEP is insoluble in water, lower alcohols, esters, and ketones, soluble in benzene, toluene, xylene, glycol, chlorinated hydrocarbons, mineral and vegetable oils.
  • ALUGEL 30 HEP serves as a lubricant in the production of polyamides and thermosets.
  • ALUGEL 30 HEP is used as a thickening agent in the production of varnishes and lacquers. As a gelling agent, it forms transparent, water-repellent greases.
  • The fine particle size distribution provides excellent dispersion properties in blending, compounding, and extrusion equipment. ALUGEL 30 HEP is technical grade.
