| Function: Wax to protect rubber articles against cracking by ozone and weathering influences Use: Antilux 500, with its reduced solubility, migrates to the surface of the vulcanizates and forms there a complete protective film which remains stable at temperatures up to about 30 °C. The formation of the protective film takes place at a medium-fast rate. Antiozonants and antioxidants are carries to the surface of the vulcanizate by the migration of Antilux 500. Application: Technical molded and extruded articles, microcellular rubber, cable jackets, which are used at moderate temperatures. Antilux 500 meets test specifications at ozone chamber temperatures of about 25 °C. The protection may be extended by means of blending with lower melting anticheck waxes.
