OPTIRUB

Optirub™ OP A is a micronized, oxidized polyethylene that easily disperses into aqueous systems. Optirub OP A is processed to a 12 micron average particle size and formulated to give excellent rub resistance, lubricity, gloss and anti-blocking properties. Addition levels range from 0.5 to 2%, depending upon application requirements.

Optirub™ PC A is a finely micronized, polyethylene and carnauba blend processed to an 8 micron average particle size. Optirub PC A is recommended for applications where gloss retention, clarity, or inter-coat adhesion is important. In addition, Optirub PC A provides an excellent combination of slip, wet scuff, mar and block resistance. Optirub PC A is not recommended for recoating, imprinting, gluing, and die-stamping applications. Recommended usage level is 1 to 3%.

Optirub™ SP1 A is a finely, micronized blend of tough polyethylene wax and premium grade PTFE. Optirub SP1 A is processed to a 6 micron average particle size and formulated to give a high degree of surface lubricity and rub resistance in inks and coatings. Addition levels range from 0.5 to 3%, depending upon application requirements.
