FINALUX Lubricants

Additives are used to improve flow characteristics of polymers. Depending upon compatibility in a polymer, these materials can function internally or externally. Internal lubricants reduce melt viscosity, which promotes flow. External lubricants reduce friction between the polymer melt and the metal surfaces of the processing equipment.

Injection molding, external lubricants are referred to as internal mold release additives. A balance of internal and external lubrication leads to increased production rates and reduced energy consumption. For injection molding, the same advantages apply with an addition benefit of reduction in cycle time.

POLYMER ADDITIVES SOME OF THE PRODUCTS:

Lubricant-

Additives used to improve flow characteristics of polymers. Depending upon compatibility in a polymer, these materials can function internally or externally. Internal lubricants reduce melt viscosity, which promotes flow. External lubricants reduce friction between the polymer melt and the metal surfaces of the processing equipment. Injection moulding, external lubricants are referred to as internal mould release additives. A balance of internal and external lubrication leads to increased production rates and/or reduced energy.

Application: PVC molded/extruded products & calendared articles, PVC pipes, profiles, films, sheets, fittings, bottles, tubing, roofing, cable and footwear compounds, floorings etc.

Processing Aid-

Multifunctional additive to enhance flow and to improve dispersion of fillers in processing filled polymer compounds.

Antistatic Agent-

Additive migrate to the surface to dissipate static charge through association with moisture in the air.

Application: PVC, PS, HIPS, ABS, LDPE, LLDPE, EPS, PP, HDPE, extruded and & molded articles for antistatic additive masterbatches.

Slip Additive-

Inhibits polymer film from sticking to itself and other surfaces such as converting equipment.

Applications: For EVA, LDPE, LLDPE, PP, extruded and molded articles, BOPP films and for slip additive masterbatches.

Dispersion Aid-

Aids in the uniform dispersion of additives such as pigments in color concentrate formulations.

Application: For pigment master batches, color concentrates and extruded/ molded plastic products.

Viscosity Depressant-

Additive, having good compatibility with PVC, to reduce the viscosity of PVC paste used for application like Coating, Dip-moulding etc.

Application: Plastisols, leather cloth and toys.

Antifog Agent-

Additive migrates to the polymer surface to prevent the formation of visible condensation. It is designed to have a controlled solubility in order to provide a reservoir of material that continuously migrates to, and is lost at the surface.

Application: PVC / polyolefin packaging films.

Filler Dispersants:

Aids in the uniform dispersion of fillers in highly filled compounds.

Application: Vinyl floorings, cable sheathing compounds, filled compounds etc and for coating on fillers.

Antiblocking Agents:
