Product Information
Benefits
Combines internal and external lubrication effects in engineering resins and PVC, leading to high flow properties and easy demolding.
Due to its low volatility, low migration tendency and high thermal stability, it enables a wide processing window in profile extrusion and injection-molding of polar polymers.
