Loxiol G40 is a liquid lubricant for the processing of rigid and plasticized PVC. Chemically, the product is a fatty acid ester supplied as a nearly odourless, colourless liquid and used as part of the lubrication system in PVC compounds.
The product is available from Revada Plastic stock. Loxiol G40 can be purchased for laboratory trials, industrial testing and regular use in PVC product manufacturing.
Internal and External Lubrication
Loxiol G40 combines the functions of internal and external lubrication. The product is also used to improve dry blend flowability and as an internal lubricant on high-speed production lines. This is especially important for manufacturers where stable material feeding, uniform plastification and predictable compound behaviour directly affect line productivity, product appearance and the number of processing deviations.
Reduced Plate-Out and surface quality
Loxiol G40 helps reduce material plate-out on metal surfaces of processing equipment and promotes more stable passage of the compound through the production line. For processors, this means a lower risk of build-up, a more stable process and more predictable quality of the finished product.
The product is also suitable for transparent PVC products and can be used in formulations where appearance, colour neutrality and surface gloss are important.
Dosage and application
The recommended dosage of Loxiol G40 ranges from 0.1–0.8 phr per 100 phr of PVC. The specific dosage level is selected depending on the formulation, stabiliser type, fillers, plasticisers, line speed and the required processing effect.
The product has a solidification point below 7 °C. During storage, overheating and freezing should be avoided.
Revada Plastic Approach
Revada Plastic considers Loxiol G40 to be an effective tool for adjusting the lubrication system of PVC compounds. The product is especially useful in applications where it is necessary to improve dry blend flowability, enhance internal lubrication on high-speed lines, reduce plate-out and maintain the surface quality of the finished product.
Revada Plastic specialists assist customers in selecting the optimal dosage, conducting trials and evaluating the effect of Loxiol G40 on processing behaviour, appearance and finished product stability.
