Loxiol G24 is an external lubricant for PVC based on polyol ether produced by Emery. The product is used to adjust the processing of PVC compositions, primarily in cable plastics, where stable extrusion, a smooth product surface and predictable material behavior on high-speed lines are important.
The role of external lubrication
External lubricants work at the interface between the PVC melt and the metal surfaces of the equipment. They reduce friction, reduce material sticking, and help stabilize the passage of the melt through the extruder and forming tool.
This is especially important for cable plastics, since production is often continuous and at high speed. Even a slight imbalance in the lubrication balance can lead to unstable pressure, overheating, surface defects, or line stops.
Practical effect
Loxiol G24 helps to enhance the external lubricating effect in the formulation without grossly altering the entire additive system. When the dosage is selected correctly, the product promotes a more stable movement of the material, reduces the risk of sticking and helps to obtain a smooth surface of the cable sheath or insulation.
An important advantage of Loxiol G24 for high-speed extrusion of cable plastics is associated with a decrease in the self-heating of the material after the degassing zone. In practice, it is self-heating that often limits the possibility of increasing the line speed: the melt temperature increases, the process becomes less stable, the risk of defects increases, and productivity has to be reduced. Due to the external lubricating effect, Loxiol G24 helps to reduce this problem and expand the processing window.
It is important to keep in mind that the lubrication system always works as part of a complete formulation. The result is influenced by the type of PVC, plasticizer, stabilizer, fillers, pigments, processing temperature and line speed. Therefore, the dosage of Loxiol G24 is selected for a specific task and equipment.
Buy Loxiol G24 in Revada Plastic
Loxiol G24 can be purchased at Revada Plastic. The product is available in a warehouse in Moscow, which makes it possible to quickly arrange delivery and conduct industrial tests at the customer’s production facility.
Revada Plastic considers Loxiol G24 as a tool for fine-tuning the formulation to specific processing conditions. During implementation, it is important to evaluate the type of plastic cable, line speed, temperature profile, stabilization system, and surface requirements of the finished product. This approach allows you to get a technological effect without disturbing the balance of the formulation.
