Applications
Licowax PE 520 fine grain is an efficient external lubricant for rigid PVC applications, providing excellent anti-sticking properties to the PVC melt, resulting in a smooth and glossy surface of the end article. As well it can be used as an internal lubricant for polyolefins providing flow improvement of PE compounds and as an release agent for elastomers and rubber applications.
It is also an effective dispersing agent for PE masterbatch applications, providing excellent organoleptic properties, brilliant dispersing properties for pigments, fillers and additives as well as thermal stability.
Licowax PE 520 fine grain can be used in hotmelt adhesives as viscosity modifier. Depending on the dosage, open and set time can be adjusted.
It can also be used as a wax compound in printing inks to provide rub and scratch resistance as well as a slip modification additive. It is especially recommend for offset printing inks.
