Lubricant Systems

The Winning Combination

Rheogistics is North America’s leading manufacturer of complex lubricant systems for rigid PVC.  Lubricants are used to moderate and focus work imparted into rigid PVC during processing, and often make or break a rigid PVC formulation. When changes occur, known or unknown, in the other raw materials present in a rigid PVC formulation (all materials have some drift in them), the lubricant system is often adjusted to correct processing behavior or physical properties.

The right combination of lubricants results in both strong rigid PVC products and highly efficient operations.  Wall control, degree of fusion, toughness, impact resistance, tensile strength, and surface finish are some of the finished product characteristics affected by the lubricant system.  Choosing the best lubricating molecules and defining the optimum balance for a specific rigid PVC operation is very complex and requires an in-depth understanding of all relevant factors. Rheogistics has unique insights into the inner workings of rigid PVC and how to lubricate it.  

Lubricants are also the keys to achieving the lowest cost rigid PVC products.  Cost benefits of a well-formulated lubricant system are realized on three levels:  

  • Lowest rigid PVC formulation cost 
  • Greater efficiency in material usage/consumption 
  • Lowest overall plant conversion costs

Synertive® Lubricants: Combinations of up to ten different molecules are formulated into our lubricant systems to achieve synergistic effects, where the performance of the system is better than the performance of the components.
