Licolub® FA 1 powder vegetable based

Licolub® FA 1 powder vegetable based is an amide wax of type N,N-bis-stearyl ethylenediamine with particularly good thermostability. It provides typical slip and antiblocking characteristics to all polymers, e.g., in films. Licolub® FA 1 powder vegetable based does not affect the transparency of polymers and acts as a lubricant in a wide variety of polymers like PVC, PO, PS, and engineering plastics. Licolub® FA 1 powder vegetable based is produced from a raw material of vegetable origin.
