Licocare® RBW 560 powder TP VITA

Licocare® RBW 560 powder TP Vita is a high-performing additive based on renewable, non-food competing feedstock that provides a unique combination of lubrication and nucleation in engineering plastics, particularly in polyester compounds formulated for use in the EandE-, packaging-, medical- or transportation industries. Given its favorable chemical structure, Licocare® RBW 560 powder TP Vita shows excellent thermal stability and favorable migration characteristics in the finished product. In addition to the excellent nucleation effect of the Licocare® RBW 560 powder TP Vita, Licocare® RBW 560 powder TP Vita also has outstanding lubrication and mold release effects. Licocare® RBW 560 powder TP Vita is effective at concentrations of 0.1 - 0.5% in polyester.
