Key Features

Baerolub® FTA SMS - US is produced from a high quality fatty acid for use as a lubricant for the extrusion of transparent PVC food film and other polymer applications requiring a low dusting, free-flowing lubricant and processing aid.

Product Performance
  • Baerolub FTA SMS - US is a very effective external lubricant and internal lubricant supplement for the processing of flexible and rigid PVC and certain other polymer applications.
  • High apparent density and relatively large average particle size helps minimize dust exposure and housekeeping problems in the workplace.
  • The density and free-flowing nature of the flaked form prevents problems with bridging and caking and facilitates accurate dosing in virtually any type of bulk handling or conveying and automated weighing and metering systems.
