Features Of BASF Irgalube 349

  1. High-performance internal lubricant for thermoplastics with excellent thermal stability up to 280 °C.

  2. Significantly reduces melt viscosity and improves melt flow without compromising mechanical properties.

  3. Low volatility and minimal plate-out, ensuring clean processing and consistent part surface quality.

  4. Compatible with a broad range of engineering polymers including polyamides (PA6, PA66), polyesters (PBT, PET), and polycarbonate blends.

  5. Non-blooming formulation ensures long-term compatibility and prevents surface migration during storage or aging.

Typical Applications Of BASF Irgalube 349

  1. Injection molding of high-precision technical parts in automotive under-hood components.

  2. Extrusion of engineering plastic profiles and thin-walled tubing requiring low-friction processing.

  3. Compounding of glass-fiber-reinforced polyamide masterbatches for enhanced processability.

  4. Two-component (2K) overmolding applications where interfacial adhesion and cycle time reduction are critical.
