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.
RADIAMULS MG 2918K is used as a process aid in production of expanded polyethylene to improve gas exchange.
Product benefits:
1. Reduces friction during the extrusion process, giving a uniform cell size distribution and is improving the gas exchange.
2. RADIAMULS MG 2918K is compatible with anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants and has exceptional electrolyte tolerance.
3. RADIAMULS MG 2918K has effects of emulsification, dispersion, foaming, defoaming and starch anti-aging.
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.
