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.
