Sasol's hand in the progress of polymer nanocomposites is lauded across industries. DISPAL/DISPERAL aluminas play a pivotal role in advancing polymer nanocomposites by meeting the demand for lightweight and durable polymers with high strength. These aluminas are essential ingredients for crafting ceramic/polymer nanocomposites, with applications spanning automotive, biological implants, packaging, sport equipment, aircraft components, and more.
Additionally, Sasol's Fischer-Tropsch hard waxes are exceptional external lubricants in PVC processing, leveraging their linear structure and low viscosity to enhance fusion time, reduce fusion torque, and improve stability time. Widely used in injection molding, rubber extrusion, and expanded polystyrene applications, these hard waxes contribute not only to the melting and flow behavior of PVC but also elevate the surface quality of the final products.

What Makes Sasol’s Offerings Unique
Sasol's DISPAL Alumina, seamlessly compounded with common plastics and polymers like PET, PP, PE, PTFE, PVC, and PS, elevates properties such as crystallinity, permeability, printability, and static dissipation. The DISPAL and DISPERAL product line, customizable for a wide range of polymers from polyolefins to epoxies and acrylates, offers surface modification options, and Sasol's alpha aluminas, with high heat conductivity, find versatile applications in thermal management. Additionally, Sasol's polymer processing additives, particularly in the Phenolics category, enhance output efficiency, provide critical performance benefits like UV degradation resistance and cold flexibility, and contribute to the synthesis of specialty plasticizers for applications like soft synthetic leather and electric vehicle wiring. When Fischer-Tropsch hard waxes are used in specialty blends it creates innovative solutions that provide cost savings to customers.
