Abstract The fusion behavior of three different lubrication systems on rigid PVC formulations can be explained using the lubrication mechanism proposed by Rabinovitch. The effect due to the interaction of the lubricants' hydrocarbon chains opposes the effect due to the interactions of the lubricants' polar groups; the fusion behavior depends, therefore, on the final balance of these effects. Highly polar lubricants tend to increase the effect of the polar group interactions, which leads to a decrease in fusion times and an increase in fusion torques.
