Applications:
Application for GMS40:
As the necessary ingredient for compounding composite lead heat stabilizers,functioning as the excellent internal lubricant.
In U-PVC pipe and profile plastic industry, GMS can be directly used as the main internal lubricant. Also as the anti-static agent for PE,ABS,PP products(e.g.,plastic drums or films).
In textile and dyeing industry, GMS can effectively prevent discoloration and act as the best softener in the fabrics
It also has effects of emulsification, dispersion, foaming, defoaming, starch anti-aging and fat agglomeration control, and is widely used in foodstuffs, cosmetic, medicine and plastic processing industries.
Application for DMG(GMS95):
1. EPE foam/PE foam
Foaming assist and shrink resistant
2. PVC complex stabilizer
Lubrication assist and antistatic
3. Agricultural greenhouse film
Atomization resistant, dribble resistant: The atomization of agriplast functions not only to prevent the irradiation of the sunshine but to prevent the coagulative bead (harmful to the crop) from dribbling to the crop. It has excellent atomization efficacy and generates humidification on the film surface. The coagulative bead drops down the humid film so that it avoids the bead dribbling to the crops.
4. Antistatic masterbatch
5. Foaming assist masterbatch
6. Anti-foging masterbatch
