Application Examples

WARADUR® GSM is especially used in rigid PVC processing as an efficient multifunctional lubricant. WARADUR® GSM is an innovative chemical hybrid, that combines structure elements of montan esters and oleo acid esters. Also WARADUR® GSA combines internal and external lubrication effects in PVC and provides very low volatility, high thermal stability and low migration tendency.

Thermosets & Epoxides

Montan waxes combine internal lubrication with strong release. Therefore, they are also suitable for the processing of thermosets like epoxy resins and phenolic resins (Novolacs). Internal lubrication helps to improve flow properties whilst external lubrication reduces the adhesion of the molding compound to hot machine parts and improves mold release.
