Licowax® E powder is an ester of montanic acids with multifunctional alcohols. The montanic acids contained in raw montan wax are straightchain, unbranched monocarboxylic acids with a chain length in the range of C₂₈ -C₃₂ . As a result of the long chain these montanic acids have a high thermostability and a low volatility as well as a low tendency to migration. Licowax E powder is used as lubricant and dispersing agent in a wide variety of polymers like PVC, PS, PBT, PA, PDM, PC, TPU.
