Properties and Application
  • Loxiol® 895 is a lubricant for processing of rigid PVC and other thermoplastics.
  • Loxiol® 895 shows a well balanced, mainly internal lubricating effect with good compatibility. Itdoes not affect the transparency of the finished article. Loxiol® 895 improves the material flowduring extrusion and reduces the melt viscosity. Due to its low volatility it is especially suitable forCaZn stabilized systems.
