Recommendation

  • 20 - 30% is recommended to reduce viscosity and adjust setting time Of polyolefins, EVA base.
  • 0.5 - 1.5 phr is recommended to be external lubricant for rigid PVC.
  • 5 - 30% is recommended to improve pigment dispersion in polyolefins bases.
  • 1 - 3% is recommended to reduce viscosity for hydrocarbon resin base.
  • 5 - 8% is recommended to improve filler dispersion in polyolefins bases.
  • 3 - 5% is recommended to add into a paraffin wax to increase softening point and hardness.
  • 2 -10% is recommended to improve processability and additives dispersion.
  • 5 -10 phr is recommended to improve moisture barrier property.
  • 1 - 5% is recommended to improve gloss, hardness and prolong candle life.
