About Vybar
 

Vybar™ is a polymer. A polymer is a high molecular weight organic compound, natural or synthetic, whose structure can be represented by a repeated small unit, the monomer (eg, polyethylene, rubber, cellulose).   Synthetic polymers are formed by addition or condensation polymerization of monomers.

Lliquid poly(alpha-olefins) in wax solutions or emulsions which when applied to surfaces (such as by way of illustration and not of limitation vinyl, leather, rubber, elastomers, natural and synthetic polymers, sealed and finished wood, painted or enameled metal such as automobile finishes, etc.) are capable of cleaning, preserving, renewing, restoring and improving the appearance, etc., so as to yield a high gloss finish which is durable and has high resistance to water and detergent wash-off.

Applications

The benefits that VYBAR 825 polymer provides in surface films have led to its use in many commercial applications. In many instances VYBAR 825 polymer is used in conjunction with, or instead of, silicone fluids. Its lack of volatility compared to silicone fluids has led to its replacement of silicone fluids in many applications.

Candle Wax
Increases hardness and surface gloss.  Will help eliminate bubbles and mottling.  Gives candle colors a creamy more pastel appearance.  Used to "bind" fragrance oil and paraffin. Mel t wax 190 degrees and add 1 tablespoon per 2 pounds of wax.

Polishes and Appearance Dressings
- When formulated into polish and dressing formulations,  VYBAR 825 polymer provides enhanced protection and improved appearance of a wide range of materials such as leather, vinyl, wood, automotive
coatings, etc.

-Products containing VYBAR 825 polymer can also  be used to clean, preserve, restore and renew the surfaces of melamine, various elastomers, and coated metal.

- VYBAR 825 polymer can significantly enhance gloss and durability when formulated in automotive polishes.

-Blending VYBAR 825 polymer with dimethylpolysiloxanes yields furniture polishes that provide higher gloss, superior cleaning action, higher resistance to water spotting and increased durability.

- Formulating VYBAR 825 polymer into floor polishes provides an extremely effective but low cost means to restore and beautify acrylic and other floor surfaces. When the finished product is buffed after application, a tough and resilient coat cover is achieved. This coat cover provides a slower, more slip resistant film that has an outstanding gloss finish.

- Ski wax formulations containing VYBAR 825 polymer have been shown to be very successful.  Wax properties were controlled over a wide variety of snow conditions.

- VYBAR 825 polymer has been shown to be an excellent ozone barrier in neoprene rubber applications. Samples of neoprene rubber coated
with VYBAR 825 polymer showed no cracking or damage when exposed at 104˚F for 7 days to an atmosphere containing 50 ppm ozone

Inks and Coatings

- The excellent lubricating and plasticizing properties of VYBAR 825 polymer may be exploited to secure enhanced performance from many inks and coatings. VYBAR 825 polymer modifies the slip and rub characteristics of many different types of ink systems. Its use in lithographic inks promotes gloss and improves slip characteristics. It can be added directly to the ink or be easily incorporated in varnish vehicles.

- Numerous advantages have been secured by applying VYBAR 825 polymer to coil coating formulations – these include stabilized flow
viscosity, improved leveling, better coverage,  reduced number of surface flaws (including separation), enhanced slip, and good thermal
stability. VYBAR 825 polymer is compatible with epoxy, polyester, acrylic and silicone-polyester resins.

- The outstanding water resistance and tenacity of the film of VYBAR 825 polymer allows it to be the performance ingredient in concrete coatings.

- Non-ionic emulsions of VYBAR 825 polymer have been found useful in providing water-based OPV’s with improved rub and slip while producing a matte finish.

Plastics

- VYBAR 825 polymer can be used as an internal mold release agent and lubricant for molded and pultruded catalyzed epoxy, polyester, and vinyl ester resins that are reinforced with fiberglass, carbon,  graphite, and various synthetic filaments.

- VYBAR 825 polymer can be used as an internal or external mold release agent for unsaturated polyester and epoxy based sheet molding compounds. It can also be added internally for use as a die lubricant in pultrusion processes using these resins. The fact that VYBAR 825 polymer is a liquid makes it much easier to incorporate as an additive and negates the problem of “dusting” during processing. Further, VYBAR 825 polymer has no adverse effect on the glass transition
