General Description

Talking about lubricants can be a complicated topic as it usually requires deep technical knowledge to correctly achieve a balanced formulation between these and other additives involved. They’re usually classified as internal and external depending on their polarity to the polymer matrix.

These products have an effect on PVC fusion, either by promoting or delaying it depending on its nature. This goes hand in hand with a change in the polymer rheology during the process. Problems with fusion? Usually it is detected when you are having a poor rough surface finish on your product.

Calcium & Zinc Stearates

It is used as an internal lubricant because of its great compatibility with PVC. At high levels it can affect transparency but it's a great fusion promoter and release agent in injection molding. We offer different grades that vary depending on its ash content and, therefore, its lubricant capacity.
Zinc stearate is often found as catalyst in foamed PVC.

It is recommended to check the technical data sheet of the lubricant of your interest to know its method of addition during mixing. Some materials can interfere with the absorption of other additives if the order and dose temperatures are oversighted. It's important to consider the interaction of the lubricant in question with other additives in order to achieve a correct finished product.

Glyceryl Monostearate

Internal lubricant with excellent PVC polarity and perfect fit in transparent applications. Good fusion and melt flow promoter.

Butyl Stearate

It’s a liquid internal lubricant helpful to promote fusion and achieve great clear applications. In plastisol applications it helps to lower mass viscosity without generating undesired air bubbles. It is also helpful to avoid stickiness and acts as a static charge release.

In PVC paste or plastisol is a great viscosity depressant which helps to achieve a good fusion with no surface bubbles.

Ethylene Bis Stearamide (EBS)

Usually it is employed to prevent PVC film blocking as it migrates to the surface. It releases static charge by making a bridge between the polymer surface and the air.

External lubricant with a certain degree of polarity. It is normally used for the production of water pipes and rigid sidings. It usually provides opacity in transparent applications. This new paraffin wax generation allows the formulator to reduce its dose from around 10% to 20% while increasing output ratio. Great fusion promoter and good surface finish. NSF/PPI approved grades available.

The main differences from our grade are its melting point and molecular weight.

Polar (Oxidized) and Non-Polar Polyethylene Wax

External lubricant that is very useful in rigid PVC pipe and siding production. Depending on its molecular weight you can play with fusion time and productivity. Our oxidized grade is excellent for surface gloss.

This is also used for the production of trays and rigid wire ducts.

 

It has a great impact on rheology and torque during extrusion.

Lubricant Pack

It’s a mixture of waxes and stearates designed to make our customer’s work simpler both when formulating and mixing.

Lubricant packs are usually used for PVC pipe production including DWV and high pressure pipe.
