PARATAC XT is a low viscosity tackifier used in various types of industrial oils to prevent dripping, spattering and wiping off. PARATAC XT is specifically formulated for easier handling without loss of tackiness.
Main applications include: bar and chain (saw) oils; slide-way oils; open gear oils and greases; rock drill oils; antimist cutting oils; rust preventatives; wire-rope (cable) lubes; circulating oils; rail curve greases; textile machinery oils; commercial blasting agents; agriculture spray oils.
PARATAC XT is an oil solution of high molecular weight polyisobutylene. The diluent oil in PARATAC XT is light-colored paraffinic oil that does not require hazard labeling.

PARATAC XT contributes significant tackiness when used at concentrations of 0.5 to 2.0 wt%. Since there are no standardized test methods for these properties, the required treat level is best determined by the user.
