New PVC lubricant made from soya bean oil
In response to industry needs for alternatives to lead-stabilised PVC processing compounds, Clariant (Muttenz / Switzerland; www.clariant.com) has introduced "Licocare SBW11 TP", a new generation of lubricant based on soya bean oil.

The chemically modified wax not only offers performance, efficiency and sustainabilty benefits, Clariant said, its technical performance also is claimed to exceed that of fatty acid derivatives.

Key characteristics include good release and anti-sticking effects, no mold deposits, thermal stability as well as a balanced rheology behaviour. Clariant added that even low concentrations of 0.3 - 1.0 phr already ensure effective performance.

Licocare SBW11 TP is said to be particulary suitable for the processing of rigid PVC compounds, especially for calcium/zinc (Ca/Zn) and tin (Sn)-stabilized PV film and extrusion applications.
