The effects demonstrated are :
- For a given shear rate. viscosity is reduced by up to 50% at low shear rates and upto 33% at higher shear rates.
- When stored for period of up to 21 days, low viscosity is retained
- Libnol 40 do not have adverse effect on the mechanical properties of cured plastisols and in some circumstances improve them. Since Libnol • 40 is liquid form at formulation temperatures, it's incorporation in plastisol formulations creates no problems.
- There are additional beneficial effects in using Libnol - 40 viscosity depressants. Libnol - 40 can be used as a post-polymerization additive in E-PVC manufacture, it has also useful antistatic properties.
LIBNOL-40 AS A VISCOSITY DEPRESSANT FOR PVC LEATHER CLOTH
Libnol - 40 is effectively used as viscosity depressant in manufacturing PVC Leather Cloth by spread coating technique.
The major advantages are as follows :
- Stiffness of Leather Cloth improves as primary Plasticizer is replaced by Libnol 40.
- Cost gets decreased as Viscosity and thickness is controlled as desired.
- Finished and feel gets improved.
- It also helps in dispersion Of pigments and fillers. so this gives better surface and gloss.
- Dosage recommended is about 5 to 10% of Plasticizers depending upon the viscosity and stiffness desired.
