Thermosets: epoxy resins, phenolic resins, polyurethane

Dispersing agents for color masterbatches and filled plastics (talc, glass fiber)
Application Examples: 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.
