Application in plastics industry:
- As a lubricant, anti-static agent, non-toxic plasticizer, anti-aging in the
production of polymers, plastics and packaging films. Can improve the flexibility,
plasticity and anit-static properties.
- Is used e.g. in the manufacturing of of polypropylene-caps to provide a slip/lubricant effect
in addition to anti-static effect.
- In agriculture plastic films as anti fogging agent.
- It is used as a process aid in production of expanded polyethylene to improve gas
exchange.
Product benefits:
- Reduces the friction during the extrusion process, giving a uniform cell size distribution and is
improving the gas exchange.
- It is compatible with anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants and has exceptional
electrolyte tolerance.
- It has effects of emulsification, dispersion, foaming, defoaming, starch antiaging.
Product dosing:
We strongly recommend testing of your own system under the actual conditions of processing
and end-use prior to full scale testing. Exact loading must be determined by composition
of the specific polymer system.
Other applications:
- Cosmetic uses, as a co-emulsifier of emulsions, to modify viscosity and improve stability.
- As an emulsifier in the production of foods, including ice cream, chewing gum, toffee,
shortening, margarine, starch etc.
- Anti-aging agent for starch.
- Protective coating for hygroscopic powders.
