Notes:
A common system of primary lubricants in rigid PVC extrusion compounds is calcium stearate plus paraffin wax. Secondary lubricants are frequently added to this system at low concentrations with the intention of improving such properties as metal release, thermal stability, plateout, extrudate surface appearance, etc. This paper discusses the results of laboratory studies designed to evaluate the contribution to these properties of two commonly used secondary lubricants: AC629A, an oxidized low molecular weight polyethylene, and K175, an acrylic “lubricating processing aid.” Surprisingly, the testing showed little improvement in performance when these auxiliary lubricants were added.
