Function: Anti-check wax to protect rubber articles against caused by ozone and weathering influences Use: Owing to its reduced solubility, Antilux 654 migrates to the surface of the vulcanizates forming a complete protective film which remains stable at temperatures from -10°C 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. Application: Tires and technical rubber articles, e.g. conveyor belts, cable coverings as well as technical molded and extruded articles (e.g. profiles) used at higher service temperatures. Antilux 654 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.
