Application

The effects demonstrated are :; For a given shear rate. viscosity is reduced by up to 50% at low shear rates and upto 33% at higher shear rates.; When stored for period of up to 21 days, low viscosity is retained; Libnol 40 do not have adverse effect on the mechanical properties of cured plastisols and in some circumstances improve them. Since Libnol • 40 is liquid form at formulation temperatures, it's incorporation in plastisol formulations creates no problems.; There are additional beneficial effects in using Libnol - 40 viscosity depressants. Libnol - 40 can be used as a post-polymerization additive in E-PVC manufacture, it has also useful antistatic properties.; LIBNOL-40 AS A VISCOSITY DEPRESSANT FOR PVC LEATHER CLOTH; Libnol - 40 is effectively used as viscosity depressant in manufacturing PVC Leather Cloth by spread coating technique.; The major advantages are as follows :; Stiffness of Leather Cloth improves as primary Plasticizer is replaced by Libnol 40.; Cost gets decreased as Viscosity and thickness is controlled as desired.; Finished and feel gets improved.; It also helps in dispersion Of pigments and fillers. so this gives better surface and gloss.; Dosage recommended is about 5 to 10% of Plasticizers depending upon the viscosity and stiffness desired.
