Licowax R 21 is a branched alkane carboxylic acid/salt mixture.
Licowax R 21 is a branched alkane carboxylic acid/salt mixture.
Acts as a lubricant and dispersing agent.
Suitable for plastic processing applications.
Licowax R 21 complies according to CLP regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
The minimum shelf life of the product is 2 years.
Licowax R 21 is a wax with ester chemical characteristics.
Licowax R 21 is used in technical applications and lacquer emulsions, as well as as a dispersant for engineering resins and a lubricant for PVC.
Licowax R 21 Branched Paraffin Carboxylate is a montan wax and is an excellent lubricant for many thermoplastics and thermosets.
This is because Licowax R 21 has a very long non-polar carbon chain with a very strong polar center.
In Licowax R 21 structure, the part that is compatible with plastic in polarity plays the role of internal lubrication, and the part that is incompatible with plastic in polarity plays the role of external lubrication and demoulding.
Licowax R 21 are among the known plastic lubricants that provide both internal and external lubrication (release effect) while maintaining a high degree of transparency with little effect on gelation.
Another advantage of Licowax R 21 compared to other lubricants is low volatility.
This is extremely important for calendering and vacuum degassing.
Licowax R 21 is recognized by food laws in many countries.
An important application of Licowax R 21 is in pvc processing.
Licowax R 21 provides excellent anti-blocking and controlled flow action.
Compared to fatty acid-based lubricants, Licowax R 21 does not adversely affect melt tension and Vicat softening point.
In some special processing methods, Licowax R 21 is used to control melting.
Good compatibility with other ingredients even when added in large amounts.
Licowax R 21 are particularly suitable for critical processes with very high lubricant requirements, including the production of calendered films, blown products and calcium/zinc stabilized profiles in high or low temperature processes.
Adding amount: 1%-1.5% How to use: According to product requirements, add the thickener to the water and stir evenly, and then add other raw materials.
Product features: superior dispersion performance; good fluidity; good stability, and high purity, etc.
