Features Of Clariant Licowax KSS flakes

  1. High-melting, synthetic hydrocarbon wax based on polyethylene with excellent thermal stability.

  2. Provides superior slip, abrasion resistance, and surface gloss enhancement in polymer and coating systems.

  3. Low volatility and minimal migration, ensuring long-term performance in demanding processing conditions.

  4. Easily dispersible in thermoplastics and compatible with a broad range of resins including PVC, PS, ABS, and engineering polymers.

  5. Non-toxic and compliant with major regulatory frameworks for indirect food contact (e.g., FDA 21 CFR §178.3710, EU Directive 10/2011).

Typical Applications Of Clariant Licowax KSS flakes

  1. PVC calendering and extrusion compounds for flooring, wall coverings, and automotive interior trim.

  2. Engineering thermoplastics requiring improved melt flow and surface finish, such as ABS and PC/ABS blends.

  3. Water-based and solvent-borne industrial coatings, including wood varnishes and metal primers.

  4. Masterbatch formulations for color and additive concentrates targeting high-shear compounding processes.

  5. Hot-melt adhesives where controlled open time, bond strength, and low blocking are critical.
