Lubrizol TPU EG-68D – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is Lubrizol TPU EG-68D primarily used for?

A: Lubrizol TPU EG-68D is a high-performance thermoplastic polyurethane-based processing aid designed to enhance melt flow, reduce extrusion pressure, and improve surface finish in rigid PVC compounds—particularly in applications such as window profiles, pipe, and siding.


Q2: Is EG-68D compatible with common PVC stabilizer systems?

A: Yes, EG-68D demonstrates broad compatibility with calcium–zinc, lead-based, and organotin stabilizers commonly used in rigid PVC formulations. It does not interfere with thermal stability or long-term aging performance when incorporated at recommended levels.


Q3: How should EG-68D be incorporated into PVC compound formulations?

A: EG-68D is typically added during the high-speed mixing stage alongside other dry additives. It disperses readily in PVC resin and does not require pre-dilution or special handling—standard hot-mix procedures apply.


Q4: Does EG-68D affect the mechanical properties of finished PVC products?

A: When used within typical dosage ranges, EG-68D maintains key mechanical properties—including tensile strength, impact resistance, and modulus—while significantly improving processability. No adverse effects on long-term weathering or dimensional stability have been observed in validated formulations.


Q5: Can EG-68D be used in food-contact or potable water applications?

A: EG-68D is not specifically certified for food-contact or drinking water applications. Formulators intending such use must conduct full regulatory evaluation—including migration testing and compliance verification against applicable regional requirements—prior to commercial deployment.
