Libwax - C is a unique Grade of fatty bisamide, manufactured to provide the ultimate performance in plastics processing. Its molecular configuration combines an excellent balance of polar and non polar groups. This chemical structure provides the proper solubility and compatibility relationship that enables Libwax - C to function as an internal /external lubricant in almost all thermoplastic and thermoset systems.

MOLDED PLASTIC
When incorporated into plastic molding powder, Libwax - C facilitie the powder-is flow into all parts of the mold. It also improves pigment dispersion and mold release and by reducing friction, it reduce static charges, thereby reducing dust pick up. Libwax - C is also recommended as a mold release agent for Acetal and PBT. Libwax - C is used as antiblocking and Slip agent for thermoset & thermoplastic resins.
RIGID PVC
Libwax - C improves the flow Characteristics of the PVC melt acting as internal/external lubricant and anti agent. It is extensively used in PVC applications such as siding, Profile, Sheet film and Cable. The dosage may vary from O. I - 0.5 Phr.
PLASTICIZED PVC
In plasticized PVC films, Libwax - C acts as a very effective anti blocking agent. Recommended usage levels vary O. I - I .O Phr, depending on film thickness and percentage of plasticizers.
ABS RESINS AND POLYSTYRENE
Libwax - C increase the flow characteristics of polystyrene and ABS. In pigmented it acts as a agent as well. The suggested dosage varies I .O - 2.0% for ABS resins and O. I -
0.25% for polystyrene.POLYOLEFINS
Libwax - C can used in Polyolefins as a pigment dispersant aid at sucested dosage : 0.25 - 0.5 phr. It is also suitable as anti agent for the production of LDPE films.
POLYAMIDES
In Polyamide 6 and 6.6, Libwax - C is used as an internal mold release agent at suggested dosage 0.3 - 0.5 phr.
ACETAL RESINS
In Acetal Resins, Libwax — C is used as surface lubricant and mold release agent at Sucested amount 0.25 phr.
POLYURETHANES
In injection molding of thermoplastic PL-JR. Libwax - C acts as internal mold release agent at suggested amount - 0.1 - I .0%.
RUBBER
Libwax - C Powder is incorprated in Synthetic Rubbers such as GRS, ABS, Butyl and Neoprene in concentrations of 0.5%. It acts as an efficient lubricant, detackifier. Mold Release and Antiblock agent.
