What is it?
Additive formulated with a blend of high-purity waxes and stearates, designed to act as internal and external lubricant in polymer processing.
Main Functions
- It reduces friction between the resin and processing equipment.
- It improves material flow, even in compounds with pigments or mineral fillers.
- It facilitates the release of molded parts.
- It optimizes the final surface finish of plastic parts.
Warning
Do not use in rigid or flexible PVC compounds, as it may cause chlorine atoms to detach from the polymer, affecting its stability and properties.
Compatible Resins
| Resin | Typical compatibility |
|---|---|
| PE / PP | Very good |
| ABS / PS | Good, especially for improving release and finish |
| Recycled resins | Recommended to improve properties |
| Other resins | Run compatibility tests |
Recommended Dosage
- Initial dosage: between 0.2% and 8.0% (2 to 8 grams per kg of resin), depending on the application and performance requirements.
- Adjustments may be required depending on the mineral fillers, pigments, or other additives present.
Typical Applications
| Application | Main benefit |
|---|---|
| Film extrusion, profiles | Improves flow and the dispersion of pigments and fillers |
| Injection molding | Facilitates release and reduces mold wear |
| Blow molding | Improves exterior finish and reduces internal friction |
| Masterbatch / color concentrates | Acts as an auxiliary additive to improve dispersion |
| Recycled resins | Compensates for the loss of lubricity in recycled material |
Instructions for Use
- Weigh the recommended dosage of the additive.
- Blend it into the polymer together with the other additives.
- Mix homogeneously for 5–7 minutes.
- Process the material with standard parameters while checking its behavior.
Precautions and Considerations
- Verify that the dosage does not cause excessive lubrication, which may impair mechanical properties or finish.
- In transparent polymers, high dosages may create haze or a cloudy effect.
- Store in a dry, cool, tightly closed place to avoid moisture or contamination.
