PVC is vulnerable to thermal degradation during processing; hence it needs different additives to prevent its degradation upon heating and shearing to get desired articles. Lubricants play vital rule in both rigid and plasticized PVC applications. These are categorized based on functions as:

• Internal Lubricants
• External Lubricants
• Viscosity depressant

Internal

• It plays the rule of softening or plasticizing.
• These lubricant mulecules reduce mulecular chains’ mutual attraction and decrease the melt viscosity while promoting inter-mulecular flow via chain slippage.
• Enhance the fillers dispersion while improving clarity.

External

• The presence of the lubricant mulecular layer results in the formation of a lubricating interface which lowers the friction between the processing machine and resin.

Viscosity Depressant

• Reduces the viscosity of plastisul formulations, when added in optimum proportions.

Special features

• Synthetic oleochemicals-based derivative
• Excellent compatibility with PVC resin
• Suitable for PVC Rigid and flexible applications
