Molded
Plastic:
When
incorporated into plastic molding powder, Tarwax E facilitates
the powders flow into all parts of the mold. It also
improves pigment dispersion and mold release and, by
reducing friction, it reduces static charges, thereby
reducing dust pickup. Tarwax E is also recommended as
a mold release agent for Acetal and PBT. Tarwax E is
used as Antiblocking and Slip Agent for thermoset &
thermoplastic resins.
Rigid PVC:
Tarwax E improves the flow characteristics of the
PVC melts acting as internal / external lubricant and
anti blocking agent. The dosage may vary from 0.05 to
0.3 phr.
Plasticized PVC:
In plasticized PVC films, Tarwax E acts as a very
effective anti blocking agent. Recommended usage level
vary between 0.1-1.0 phr. Depending on film thickness
and percentage of plasticizers.
ABS resins and Polystyrene:
Tarwax E increases the flow characteristics of Polystyrene
and ABS. In pigmented products it acts as a dispersing
agent as well. The suggested dosage varies between 0.5-2.0
% for ABS resins and 0.15-0.30 % for Polystyrene.
Polyolefins:
Tarwax E can be used in Polyolefins as a pigment
dispersant aid at suggested dosage: 0.25-0.5 phr. It
is also suitable as anti blocking agent for the production
of LDPE films.
Polyamides:
In Polyamides 6 and 6.6, Tarwax E is used as an
internal mold release at suggested dosage: 0.1-0.3 phr.
Acetal Resins:
In Acetal Resins, Tarwax E is used as surface lubricant
and mold release agent. Suggested amount 0.25 phr.
Polyurethanes:
In injection molding of thermoplastic PUR, Tarwax E
acts as an internal mold release agent at suggested
amount 0.1 – 1.0%. |
