Licolub WE 4 flakes is an ester of montanic acids with a polyol. Due to its polar center and the long, non-polar hydrocarbon chains, Licolub WE 4 flakes combines internal and primarily external lubrication effects in the processing of engineering resins and PVC, especially in Polyester compounds. In calendering of rigid PVC films Licolub WE 4 flakes offers excellent lubrication properties at high thermal stability and low volatility.
