High-density A-C polyethylene wax can be used in the PVC manufacturing process. Its basic function is that of an external lubricant, but it also provides many other benefits. High degree of oxidized polyethylene wax is a very efficient external lubricant, which can accelerate the plasticization process and improve metal peelability in hard molding systems. Its advantage is to improve the uniformity of the melt, thereby improving the dimensional stability and stability of the profile. Productivity.
High-density oxidized polyethylene wax also improves weld line strength and metal stripping properties in conventional and hot runner systems in injection molding applications.
There are many commonly used AC waxes, such as Honeywell A-C 316A. A-C 316A is an oxidized polyethylene wax with low viscosity and high acid value. It is often used to accelerate plasticization. It has super metal peelability and excellent dispersion effect.
The main functions of A-C 316A in PVC processing:
1. It gives outstanding metal stripping properties to calendering, extrusion, injection and blow molding equipment.
2. In PVC mixtures, the improper dosage generally affects the transparency. In many transparent blow molded products, the dosage of A-C316A reaches lphr without affecting the transparency.
3.A-C316A polyethylene has a relatively high softening point, allowing PVC to maintain an effective working viscosity under high-temperature processing conditions.
4. Suppress the friction heat of PVC processing and improve the high-temperature dynamic stability of PVC.
5. Improve the dispersion of impact agents and fillers in PVC, thereby increasing impact strength.
6. Reduce processing energy consumption, especially in the PVC extrusion and molding process.
7. Allows for higher extrusion speed without affecting the appearance of the product.
8. Follow the recommended dosage and there will be no migration or precipitation.
9. Give the product excellent surface gloss.
10. Since it does not contain metal ions, it can reduce the generation of scale.
It can be said that this Honeywell A-C 316A has many advantages. If it has any shortcomings, it is the price. Since it is an imported product, the price will inevitably be relatively high. However, there is now a domestic product that can perfectly replace A-C 316A, and that is Reile RL 916A!
RL 916A detailed parameters:
Acid value: 15-18mgKOH/g
Penetration: <0.5dmm
Dropping point: 140°C
Density: 0.98g/cc
Viscosity: 9000cps
RL-916A has unique lubrication and plasticizing effects that most lubricants do not have. The special product structure is a major advantage in reducing customers’ costs. . It is often used in PVC products that require high plasticization requirements, require long-term continuous and stable production, and have high requirements on demoulding and appearance. Often added to PVC heat stabilizers, PVC foam products and CPVC products, etc.
Product application areas:
PVC wire and cable materials, TPE processing aids, PVC pipe fitting profiles, PVC foam boards, PVC shrink film, decorative film, wax emulsion. If you are engaged in PVC production and processing and are looking for a cost-effective product, high-density oxidized polyethylene wax, you can try this Reile RL 916A.
