Fischer tropsch wax for epoxy resin processing

Fischer Tropsch wax is primarily used as a lubricant and dispersant in epoxy
resin processing. It improves processing fluidity, enhances the surface gloss
of finished products, and helps ensure uniform dispersion of fillers and
pigments.‌‌
‌External Lubrication: Fischer Tropsch wax has low compatibility with
polymers, so during processing it easily migrates to the surface to form a
lubricating layer. This reduces friction between the resin and equipment,
prevents adhesion, and improves demolding and extrusion efficiency.
‌Internal Lubrication and Plasticization‌: At high temperatures, its
compatibility with the resin increases, weakening intermolecular cohesive
forces, reducing melt viscosity, and improving flow. This is particularly
effective for the extrusion of high-viscosity systems.
‌Pigment/Filler Dispersion‌: Its low viscosity and high wettability enable it
to effectively wet dye and filler particles, reducing particle agglomeration
and improving dispersion efficiency, while also enhancing the wear resistance
of masterbatches.
