| Function: Anti-check wax to protect rubber articles against cracking caused by ozone and weathering influences Use: Antilux 550, with its reduced solubility, migrates to the surface of the vulcanizates and where it forms a complete protective film which remains stable at temperatures up to about 30 °C. The formation of the protective film takes place at a fast rate. Antiozonants and antioxidants are carried to the surface of the vulcanizate by the migration of Antilux 550 Application: Technical molded and extruded articles, profiles, microcellular rubber and cable coverings, which are used at moderate temperatures. Antilux 550 meets test specifications at ozone chamber temperatures of about 25 °C particularly when stored for a short time before testing. The protection may be extended by means of blending with Antilux grades with a higher melting point. Information provided by Lanxess. |
