Improve Melt Flow, Processing Stability, and Surface Quality

Pationic® glycerol ester additives are high-efficiency internal lubricants engineered to improve polymer processing performance without negatively impacting mechanical properties. Designed for use in thermoplastic compounding, Pationic® helps reduce internal friction, enhance melt flow, and stabilize processing across a wide range of resin systems. 

Why Internal Lubrication Matters for Compounders


During compounding and downstream processing, internal friction within the polymer melt can lead to high torque, shear stress, poor melt flow, inconsistent surface finish, and reduced processing efficiency.

An effective internal lubricant works within the polymer matrix, lowering intermolecular friction while maintaining compatibility with the base resin. Unlike external lubricants, Pationic® integrates into the polymer melt, delivering lubrication without plate-out or surface migration.

Why Compounders Should Incorporate Pationic® GMS 

  • Improved melt flow and processability 
  • Reduced torque and extrusion pressure 
  • Enhanced dispersion of fillers and pigments 
  • Improved surface appearance of finished parts 
  • Stable processing across wide temperature ranges 

Their versatility allows compounders to use Pationic® as a drop-in processing aid or as part of a broader lubrication package. 

Compatible Polymer Systems 

Pationic® internal lubricants are commonly used in the following: 
  • Polyolefins (PP, PE) 
  • Engineering thermoplastics 
  • Recycled plastics (PCR PP, PCR PE) 
  • Filled and reinforced compounds 
  • Masterbatch formulations 

Their versatility allows compounders to use Pationic® as a drop-in processing aid or as part of a broader lubrication package. 

Processing Advantages vs. Traditional Lubricants 

Compared to waxes and low-molecular-weight external lubricants, Pationic® offers these benefits: 
  • Internal lubrication without surface defects 
  • Reduced risk of die buildup or plate-out 
  • Better balance between flow improvement and mechanical performance 
  • Cleaner processing and improved part aesthetics 

This makes Pationic® an ideal solution for compounders seeking processing efficiency without downstream issues. Its performance profile aligns well with modern compounding strategies focused on cost control and material efficiency.
