Applications Packaging Storage & Handling
• Internal/external lubricant and release agent for PVC (rigid & flexible), PS/PP/PE and rubber compounding.
• Improves flow and demolding; assists acid scavenging and heat stability in PVC systems.
• Suitable for EPS molding, masterbatches and powder metallurgy as process aid.
• 20 / 25 kg PE‑lined bags or cartons; big bags on request.
• Small packs for R&D and plant trials.
• Non‑DG. Store cool/dry; protect from moisture.
• Minimize dust; apply local exhaust and PPE as per SDS (combustible dust precautions).
Specs are representative; shipped material conforms to the COA for the lot. Custom particle size, bulk density and treatment available on request.
