Licowax® OP flakes
Licowax OP flakes is a partly saponified ester wax of montanic acids used for a wide variety of polymers as multifunctional lubricant and dispersing agent. Suitable for PVC, engineering resins, thermosets etc.
In addition, it is used in solvent-based polish applications, thanks to its excellent paste-forming and solvent-binding capacity.
Minimize your environmental footprint with Licocare® RBW Vita - a sustainable, bio-based wax derived from renewable rice bran oil, a byproduct of rice processing. It provides similar functionality while meeting sustainability targets. Contact us for more information or to request a sample.
