- Key Features
Baerolub® FTA VEG is produced from very high quality, palm derived 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, vegetable derived lubricant and processing aid.
- Product Performance
- Baerolub® FTA VEG is a very effective external lubricant and internal lubricant supplement for the processing of flexible and rigid PVC.
- High apparent density and relatively large average particle size helps minimize dust exposure and housekeeping problems in the workplace.
- The free-flowing the forms 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.
