Disadvantages Of Fischer-Tropsch Wax(FT Wax) In PVC Processing

Disadvantages of Fischer-Tropsch wax in PVC processing, Fischer-Tropsch wax can be applied to plastic (PVC) processing, such as injection molding, extrusion and granulation industries. Fischer-Tropsch wax helps disperse fillers and improve slippery properties during mixing during the production of pigments and modified plastics.

Fischer-Tropsch wax can be used as an external lubricant for PVC. Its low viscosity can increase the production speed of the product. It helps in the dispersion of pigments and fillers during mixing. It is especially suitable for use in the extrusion of high-viscosity systems. The addition amount is 40-50% less than that of ordinary PE wax, and it can significantly improve the surface gloss of the product (the gloss aspect can replace Brazilian palm wax). When using concentrated colors, molten Fischer-Tropsch wax can effectively wet the dye and reduce extrusion viscosity.

Fischer-Tropsch wax has good compatibility with PVC and can be used as both internal and external lubricants. It can be used as a good internal lubricant to effectively control shear conditions, promote flow, control friction and melting properties, thereby improving thermal stability. At the same time, Fischer-Tropsch wax enables PVC products to obtain the best physical and processing properties due to its high crystallinity and high linearity structure. According to needs, the Fischer-Tropsch process can synthesize alkanes of different chain lengths to change the molecular size of the final product to form a series of products.

Fischer-Tropsch wax products are mainly used in sheet, plastic and other processing fields and in the candle industry. Wax is used for PVC pipes and can be used as an external lubricant for PVC. It helps to disperse fillers during mixing. Fischer-Tropsch wax can be used in the plastics industry: such as injection molding, extrusion and granulation industries. Among them, it helps the dispersion of fillers and improves slippery properties in the processing of color particles. It helps the dispersion of pigments during mixing. It is especially well used in the extrusion of high-viscosity systems. It saves 40~50% of the amount of ordinary PE wax added and can significantly improve the surface gloss of the product.
