Axel presents latest process aid for thermoplastics

Connecticut-based mould release and process aid specialist Axel Plastics Research Laboratories has launched a new process aid additive offering a pronounced reduction in coefficient of friction. Described as a unique 100% active additive, MoldWiz INT-33LSER is recommended for use with all polyethylenes and polypropylenes, including thermoplastic olefins (TPO), and other thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) such as thermoplastic vulcanizates and thermoplastic urethanes. It is also ‘highly effective’ in other resins such as polystyrene and polyethylene terephthalate where improved lubricity of the moulded part or reduced coefficient of friction is required, Axel claims.
