Applications
Uses: Improves the flow properties of polymeric compounds by reducing viscosity and promoting slippage at the rubber-to-metal interface. This leads to higher extrusion rates, improved dimensional stability and a constant level of die swell. During injection molding HT16 improves mold flow. It prevents sticking to the metal surfaces and enhances demolding without mold fouling. It is recommended to use HT16 when the mold has a complicated geometry. At the mixing stage, HT16 prevents sticking to roll surfaces and the rotors of the internal mixer. HT16
has an activating effect on the cross-linking rate of sulfur cross- linked polymer compounds. In CR compounds, HT16 has a stabilizing effect. Processing safety is increased.

Processing: Can be added to the polymeric compound any time during the mixing cycle. In order to optimize the releasing effect, it is advisable to add HT16 just before the mixing cycle, e.g. at the heating before calendering.
