Proaid® LCF by Akrochem is methyl 12-hydroxystearate-based processing aid. It is a medium-range melting synthetic wax, derived from hydrogenated castor oil. It provides non-oily, non-greasy lubricating bloom on the exposed rubber surface. It creates a low coefficient of friction (LCF) on the surface of rubber articles. It improves abrasion wear and rubber resistance to sliding abrasion. It exhibits rapid bloom in natural rubber and better lubrication for EPDM than any other lubricant. Proaid® LCF complies with FDA and reduces sticking together of cured parts. Recommended usage level is 0.25-2 phr for reduced surface tack on cured parts, 4-5 phr for LCF and up to 10 phr for long-lasting bloom.
