Micronized wax is employed for lubrication and demoulding.

The lubricating effect of micronized wax is primarily ‘internal
lubrication’. During the processing of polymeric materials such as plastics
and rubber (e.g., extrusion, calendering, injection moulding), the wax powder
disperses uniformly within the melt, migrating between polymer molecular
chains to reduce intermolecular friction, thereby lowering melt viscosity.
Key advantages:
Reduced viscosity and enhanced flowability: Facilitates easier processing and
conserves energy.
Improved production efficiency: Enables higher extrusion or injection
moulding speeds.
Enhanced surface gloss of finished products: Wax migration forms a smooth
surface layer.
Reduced equipment wear: Provides lubricating protection for internal walls
and screws.
Common Application Areas:
PVC Processing: An indispensable lubricant in rigid PVC pipes and profiles
(door/window extrusions).
Engineering Plastics: Improves flow and demoulding properties during
processing of PC, ABS, nylon, etc.
Masterbatches and Functional Compounds: Serves as a carrier lubricant, aiding
dispersion of pigments or functional additives.
