| Product Description: Akrosorb 19348 is a uniform dry powdered dispersion of AC-1702 PE wax (low molecular weight polyethylene wax in a paste form) on synthetic calcium silicate. AC-1702 PE Wax is an off-white semi-solid process aid for rubber that provides excellent release from metal surfaces. The Akrosorb powder form offers the compounder an easier and more accurate means of handling and weighing this semi-solid product. The AC-1702 allows a mill mixer to use PE wax in formulations (most solid PE waxes require melt temperatures of over 200°F). The lower melt product also provides release at lower temperatures than the solid PE waxes. Applications: Used as a release agent and internal lubricant for virtually all synthetic and natural rubbers. Works well as a mold release in many non-black formulas. Advantages: Dry liquid dispersions (DLDs) are a proven means of upgrading plant safety, efficiency, quality and raw material control. Akrochem dry liquid dispersions eliminate the messiness of weighing liquids, as well as other potential hazards in handling liquids in the plant. The “dry” physical form is easy to handle and weigh accurately. With a dispersion, better, uniform mixing, at lower processing temperatures is possible.
