Function: Wax to protect rubber articles against cracking caused by ozone and weathering influences. Use: Antilux 111, with its reduced solubility 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 film takes place at a slow rate. The protective film shows an excellent stability against dynamic stress. Antilux 111 provides a most effective long term protection. Application: Tires and conveyor belts as well as technical rubber articles of all kinds which are used at higher service temperatures. Antilux 111 meets test specifications at ozone chamber temperatures of about 50 °C. The protection may be extended by means of blending with lower melting Antilux grades.
