Function: Anti-check wax to protect rubber articles against caused by ozone and weathering influences. Use: Owing to its reduced solubility, Antilux 654 A migrates to the surface of the vulcanizates where it forms a complete protective film which remains stable at temperatures up to about 50 °C. The formation of the protective film takes place at a medium-fast rate. The protective film shows an excellent stability against dynamic stress. Antiozonants and antioxidants are carried to the surface of the vulcanizate by the migration of Antilux 654 A. Application: Tires, conveyor belts, cable coverings as well as technical molded and extruded articles ( e.g. profiles) which are used at higher service temperatures. Antilux 654 A meets test specifications at ozone chamber temperatures of about 45 °C. The protection may be extended by means of blending with lower melting Antilux grades.
