As an internal and external lubricant: Reduce friction during extrusion and injection molding Smooth the mold surface, reduce mold sticking As a dispersant: Disperse pigments, glass fibers, fillers such as talc, CaCO₃ in plastic substrates (PP, PE, PA, ABS ...) Help the color to be even, without clumping Improve product surface: Increase gloss, smooth feeling Increase slip, reduce blocking phenomenon: Used for plastic films such as PE, PP, BOPP to prevent sticking Increase moisture resistance, anti-corrosion: In the paint, ink and rubber industries
