INDEPENDENCE, US: Valtris Specialty Chemicals is introducing two new products to its lubricants portfolio, Petrac 200 and Petrac 230, this improves the rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) extrusion.
Petrac 200 is an NSF/PPI potable water pipe range formulation approved 165 melt point lubricant is based on Fischer-Tropsch (FT) wax technology. With refineries becoming more and more efficient, fewer and fewer by-products in the form of paraffin waxes are being generated. Because they are engineered and not by-products of petroleum refining, FT waxes such as Petrac 200 are extremely consistent in a composition which can positively impact the processing of rigid PVC compounds.
Petrac 230, a high density oxidised polyethene wax (HD OxPE) is another new addition to the Valtris Petrac wax product line. Petrac 230 compliments Petrac 215, Valtris’s low density oxidised polyethene (LD OxPE), which has been an industry standard metal release lubricant for years. In addition to providing metal release properties at low levels, Petrac 230 acts as a fusion promoter to enable more controlled processing of highly filled and difficult to fuse formulations.
“We are excited to bring to the market this high quality, consistent lubricant, stabilisers,” said Peggy Schipper, business director, lubricants for Valtris Specialty Chemicals.
“This technology is a perfect complement to Valtris’ metallic stearate product line for rigid PVC which features industry standards such as Synpro 15F and Synpro 12B calcium stearate. The combination of Synpro calcium stearate, Petrac 200 Fischer-Tropsch wax, Petrac 215 Low Density Oxidized Polyethylene (LD OxPE) and Akcstabilisersgives our customers one stop shopping and the option of mixed truckloads from our Fort Worth plant,” added Schipper.
