Product Applications
  • Licocene® PP 1602 granules is an amorphous low molecular weight propylene-ethylene-copolymer wax.
  • Dispersed in water, or solvents it offers excellent adhesion properties for leather and shoe care providing a very flexible coating with enhanced water resistance.
  • The low viscosity, end excellent wetting behavior of Licocene® PP 1602 granules makes it a perfect fit as a backbone polymer for hot melt adhesives.
  • Unlike other polymers, Licocene® PP 1602 granules shows superior adhesion properties combined with insignificant residual tack and improved cohesion.
  • It is also a ready to use hot melt polymer for textile and non-woven applications where a soft hand is crucial.
  • Used as a carrier for Masterbatches, Licocene® PP 1602 granules guaranties high loadings and an outstanding dispersion of the additives being used.
  • Processing aid for polyolefins.
