Licomont™ NaV 101
Licomont NaV 101 is a sodium salt of montanic acids. Licomont NaV 101 acts as a suitable nucleating agent in PET and PBT. Due to the high molecular weight, it has a low volatility and favorable migration characteristics in the finished product. In addition to the excellent nucleation effect of the Licomont NaV 101, this product also has outstanding lubrication and mold- release effects. Licomont NaV 101 is effective at concentrations of 0.1 – 0.4 % in polyester.
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.
