Featured industrial line
Metallic stearates and PE waxes for stable formulation and process
High torque, blooming, mold sticking or fragile thermal stability are rarely fixed with a generic commodity. Metallic stearates and polyethylene waxes belong when the plant needs predictable flow, clean release and consistent finish, with specification and trials, not dosage guesswork.
Plectus’ featured industrial line covers zinc, calcium and magnesium stearates for PVC, rubber, masterbatch and powders, and micronized or flake PE waxes for extrusion and compounds.
