MoldWiz INT-33VPE is composed entirely of vegetable-based organic materials, and is said to be an ideal additive for enhancing flow and reducing the surface coefficient of friction in polyolefins and styrenic resins without adversely affecting secondary operations of molded parts, according to the company. For injection molders, the lower coefficient of friction is said to allow quicker, cleaner mold release. That material's coefficient of friction is approximately that of the human palm, the scientists say. |
