Libnol 40

Generic Family: Additive -- Slip Agent / Lubricant / Mold Release / Processing Aid • Supplied by: Liberty Chemicals

Fatty Acid Derivative

Applications
Libnol - 40 is an effective viscosity depressants for PVC plastisol. To reduce the viscosity of plastisol formulations, when added in very small proportions, typically 1% or 2%. The effects demonstrated are:

For a given shear rate, viscosity is reduced by up to 50% at low shear rates and upto 33% at higher shear rates.

When stored for periods of up to 21 days, low viscosity is retained:

Libnol - 40 do not have adverse effect on the mechanical properties of cured plastisols and in some circumstances improve them.

Since Libnol - 40 is liquid form at formulation temperatures, it's incorporation in plastisol formulations creates no problems.

There are additional beneficial effects in using Libnol - 40 viscosity depressants.

Libnol - 40 can be used as a post-polymerization additive in E-PVC manufacture, it has also useful antistatic properties.

LIBNOL-40 AS A VISCOSITY DEPRESSANT FOR PVC LEATHER CLOTH

Libnol - 40 is effectively used as viscosity depressant in manufacturing PVC Leather Cloth by spread coating technique. The major advantages are as follows :

Stiffness of Leather Cloth improves as primary Plasticizer is replaced by Libnol - 40.

Finished and feel gets improved.

Cost gets decreased as Viscosity and thickness is controlled as desired

It also helps in dispersion of pigments and fillers. So this gives better surface and gloss.
