Processing Guidelines
TM o
The recommended melt temperature of EL-Wax is 130 - 150 C. It is recommended to use mixing machine giving good
homogenization. The recommend dosage depends on the intended applications which are shown below :
Applications Recommendation
Hot melt adhesive 20 - 30% is recommended to reduce viscosity and adjust setting time of polyolefins, EVA base.
PVC compound 0.5 - 1.5 phr is recommended to be external lubricant for rigid PVC.
Color masterbatch 5 - 30% is recommended to improve pigment dispersion in polyolefins bases.
Thermoplastic road marking 1 - 3% is recommended to reduce viscosity for hydrocarbon resin base.
Plastic additive 5 - 8% is recommended to improve filler dispersion in polyolefins bases.
Petroleum wax blend 3 - 5% is recommended to add into a paraffin wax to increase softening point and hardness.
Cable filling compound 5 - 10 phr is recommended to improve moisture barrier property.
Candle 1 - 5% is recommended to improve gloss, hardness and prolong candle life.
