Features & Benefits
- Product Features
- Performance Benefits
- ALUGEL 34 TH serves as a lubricant in the production of polyamides and thermosets. The fine particle size distribution provides excellent dispersion properties in blending, compounding and extrusion equipment
- ALUGEL 34 TH provides strong gelification. It is used as thixotropic and thickening agent in the production of varnishes and lacquers and as thickening agent for oils where it forms transparent, water repellent greases
- Features
ALUGEL 34 TH is produced from a high quality fatty acid
