POLYSPERSE™ A

1 of 1 products in this brand
Polysperse™ A is a linear hydrocarbon produced by the Fischer-Tropsch process. Polysperse A has a unique spherical morphology and narrow distribution of particles for ease of dispersion and uniformity during processing. Polysperse A exhibits low surface tension, exceptional surface slip and smoothness, rub resistance, gloss, and non-marking properties. Addition levels range from 0.5-3%, depending upon application requirements.
