STRUKTOL® TR 016
The amide of STRUKTOL® TR 016 has sites available for hydrogen bonding, and is therefore able to act as a physical coupling agent between polymer systems and a range of filler materials. This permits STRUKTOL® TR 016 to act as an efficient blending or dispersing agent in highly filled systems, providing a more uniform and homogenous initial mix. At processing conditions, STRUKTOL® TR 016 is an effective internal lubricant for the polyolefins, PVC, PS, ABS and many of the TPO systems. Application areas recommended for STRUKTOL® TR 016 in highly-filled systems include TPEs and TPO compounds, filled olefins, flame retarded polymers and color concentrate materials. In addition, STRUKTOL® TR 016 can be useful in those standard unfilled polymers where reduced viscosity and improved flow are desirable at processing conditions. In many systems, better surface appearance and lower and more uniform mold shrinkage will be seen. Physical property losses are quite small for most compounds at normal addition levels of STRUKTOL® TR 016.
Benefits of STRUKTOL® TR 016 include:
- Improved flow at processing temperatures
- Better surface appearance
- Easier mold release in many systems
- Better dispersion of fillers and additives
- Non-blooming properties
