Calford® WB is an ethylene bis stearamide (EBS) wax (C38H76O2N2) in beaded (WB) form, produced using vegetable based stearic acid. It is primarily used as an internal and external lubricant for polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, ABS, polystirene, PVC, and phenols. It can also be used in coating and ink applications as dispersants and matting agents.
