Applications:

Application in plastics industry:

As a lubricant, anti-static agent, non-toxic plasticizer, anti-aging in the

production of polymers plastics, packaging films. Can improve the flexiblity, plasticity and anti-static properties.

Is used e.g. in the manufacturing of polypropylene-caps to provide a slip/lubricant effect

in addition to an 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 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 and starch anti-aging.

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 inprove 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.

Packaging:

25 kg bags
