PROPERTIES AND FUNCTIONS
Waxes from the broad VISCOWAX® portfolio are commonly used as additives in a wide range of applications to produce very different effects, mainly to improve processability and product properties. The requirements for the properties of the waxes are different depending on which function they perform in the final product.
Genesis Nutech LLP (Sister concern of Flamingo Additives & Colourants LLP) being the exclusive distributors of Innospec Leuna, Germany for India is supplying Viscowax from its Mumbai warehouse.
It is available in 25 kg PE bag packing.
