Lubricants

Prevents various problems caused by friction during the molding process, delivering a molded product with a smooth surface, little coloring and heat degradation.
The reduction in friction due to the lubricant reduces the amount of stabilizer added and increases the MFR(melt flow rate) to improve productivity and contribute to saving energy.
