PVC
An acrylic polymer that functions as both an external lubricant and a processing aid in Vinyl. The product's acrylic composition enables it to provide external lubrication without imparting the incompatibility often found in Vinyl compounds containing conventional lubricants. The product is a valuable ingredient in clear Vinyl formulations for applications such as blow-molded containers and calendered or extruded sheet. Opaque Vinyl formulations containing this product are used for siding, high-flow injection-molded parts, pipe fittings and pipe and conduit.
