Akrochem Carnauba Wax

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

Carnauba Wax is a natural occurring wax, extracted from the Carnauba Palm, which grows in Northern Brazil. It is very hard and has good electrical properties. It is used in rubber compounding (1-2%) to improve the surface of molded goods, as a mold release, and as a polish for hard rubber goods. Carnauba Wax is especially effective as an internal mold release agent in compounds of all types of fluorocarbon elastomers. It does not affect processing safety, cure rate or cured physical properties and does not interfere with adhesion to metal when used at typical levels (up to 2 phr).
