- Properties and Applications
Loxiol® G 59 is a versatile internal lubricant for rigid PVC. Due to its excellent compatibility with the resin it can be added at high dosage. Loxiol® G 59 can be used with various stabilizers, especially calcium/zinc and calcium organic based systems. Loxiol® G 59 shows a well balanced, mainly internal lubricating effect. It has minimal influence on the gelation time and improves the flow of the polymer melt in complex articles. Loxiol® G 59 can be used for transparent articles. Due to its low volatility it is especially suitable for formulations to reduce plate-out. Typical applications include injection molded articles and fittings, extruded pipe, window profiles, technical profiles and foamed or compact sheets. Loxiol® G 59 is also a processing additive for vinyl free resins.
