PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
State: solid Color: creamy, yellowish to tan
o
Melting point, C: 55-105
HEALTH & SAFETY
o
Flash point, C: >200
ECOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Biodegradation probability: biodegradable
USE & PERFORMANCE
Outstanding properties: Effectively forms continuous compatible and transparent layers on the
bottles/films and imparts anti-scratch properties. Imparts high impact properties in filled com-
pounds, lowers viscosity and improves flow at the processing temperature, maintains uniform
shrinkage, reduces overall cycle time, improves surface finish, allows for better and homogeneous
dispersion of fillers & additives.
Recommended for polymers: TPE, TPV
Recommended for products: automotive, bottles, films, sheets
Concentrations used, wt%: 0.1-2
