Lubricants are an integral part of PVC formulation. Platinum manufactures both internal and external lubricants. The internal lubricants are used for the reduction of the friction between the molecules of PVC by lowering the melt viscosity. The external lubricants help in the metal release effect, mould release effect, reduction in the friction, and in the delay of fusion. internal lubricants help in the conversion of mechanical energy into heat. External lubricants provide an excellent surface finish by giving a shining end product.
Polyethylene wax or PE Wax is a low molecular weight polyethylene polymer used for enhancing the process parameters and properties of the finished products. It is used in diverse applications across the plastic industry.
Oxidized Polyethylene Wax (OPE Wax) is widely used in U-PVC and CPVC applications.
Lubricant onepack or Lubpack with co-stabilising additives based on imported high quality PE and oxidised PE waxes. Platinum manufactures 3 types of Lubpack namely L200, L300 and L600.
This is a lubricant one pack replacement of Stearic acid & PE wax for PVC pipes and profiles.
This is a synthetic replacement of stearic acid for PVC pipes and other applications.
This is a part replacement for the lubricants used in CPVC pipes. It will replace the costly PE & Oxidized waxes.
