Product Details

The montanic acids contained in raw montan wax are straightchain, unbranched monocarboxylic acids with a chain length in the range of C28-C32. As a result of the long chain these montanic acids have a high thermostability and a low volatility as well as a low tendency to migration.

Benefits

  • Excellent internal and external release poperties in PVC and engineering resins out perferming standard lubricants
  • High thermostability and low volatility, low migration
  • Good paste forming properties
  • Excellent release properties in engineering resins out performing standard lubricants
