Applications
Product Applications
  • External lubricant for plastics, especially for rigid and flexible PVC.
  • It accelerates gelation and provides excellent anti-sticking properties without impairing the transparency.
  • Release agent for engineering resins like polyester or polyoxymethylene, effective external lubricant for opaque polycarbonate.
  • Hard, high-melting, emulsifiable polyethylene wax for dispersions used in polish, textile, leather and paper applications.
