Features Of Clariant Licowax PE 520 powder

  1. Highly efficient polyethylene wax with excellent dispersion and compatibility in thermoplastics and masterbatches.

  2. Provides superior lubrication and mold release performance during high-speed extrusion and injection molding.

  3. Low volatility and thermal stability up to 220 °C, ensuring minimal fume generation and consistent processing.

  4. Fine particle size distribution (d50 ≈ 15–25 µm) enables rapid wetting and uniform incorporation into polymer melts.

  5. Non-toxic, REACH-compliant formulation suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance in packaging and consumer goods.

Typical Applications Of Clariant Licowax PE 520 powder

  1. Polyolefin-based masterbatches (e.g., color, additive, and filler concentrates).

  2. Extruded profiles and films requiring surface slip, anti-blocking, and processing aid functionality.

  3. Injection-molded polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) components for automotive interior parts.

  4. Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) compounds needing internal and external lubrication balance.
