Consumption of processing aids, primarily lubricants lubricants preparations for the lubrication of passages to reduce frictional injury, e.g. oily preparations, including petroleum jelly, lanolin or water-soluble preparations such as methyl cellulose. and mold release agents, is expected to increase faster than the growth of plastic production, Freedonia's report states. |
