Nucleating agent helps lubricate nylon parts

Licomont CaV102 is a calcium salt that provides both nucleating and lubricating effects in injection molded nylon applications. It has good thermal stability, low volatility, and is color stable. It won''t affect transparency or an application''s mechanical properties. This fine grain or powder is effective in concentrations as low as .2 pph. Release force of nylon 6 containing .3 pph Licomont is under 500 N compared to more than 10,000 N without.
