Applications & Use Cases
- ▸ Used as an internal and external lubricant in PVC, polyolefin and engineering-plastic compounding to reduce melt viscosity, improve flow and prevent metal sticking during extrusion and injection molding.
- ▸ Functions as a slip and anti-block agent in plastic films and masterbatches, lowering the surface coefficient of friction so films separate and feed cleanly.
- ▸ Serves as a mold-release and dispersing aid for pigments and fillers in color masterbatch, helping wet-out and uniform distribution of carbon black and inorganic pigments.
- ▸ Applied as an anti-foaming and defoaming agent in asphalt, paper coatings and adhesives where its high-melting wax structure collapses foam.
- ▸ Used as a flow modifier and lubricant in powder-metallurgy, rubber processing and hot-melt formulations to ease release and reduce die drag.
