Patent number: 7709571Abstract: Lubricant compositions and processes for producing such lubricant compositions. More specifically, low viscosity lubricant compositions for the working surface of an extrusion die during the processing of plastics that require lubricants to render them processable, such as polyvinyl chloride, chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride and copolymers thereof. The lubricant composition may include up to about 70% by weight of at least one metal salt while maintaining a melt viscosity low enough to process on conventional finishing equipment such as prill towers or pastillating equipment.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2006Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Honeywell International IncInventor: Francis Sim
