Struktol - Processing Aides

Processing Aides

Struktol has developed the following processing aids for polymer composites. These have become the “workhorses” in the polymer composite world that Struktol can “tweak”, if necessary, to overcome the idiosyncrasies of machine design, polymer, filler, enhanced properties and output rate.

STRUKTOL^® TPW 012:	Designed for PVC compounds, especially for composite formulations. It is a blend of internal and external lubricants as well as compatabilizers and processing aids for optimum processing and output rates. This unique system is considered a "one pack" eliminating the need for any other lubes including calcium stearate.

STRUKTOL^® TPW 104:	Designed primarily for polyethylene and polypropylene composites to compatabilize, improve homogeneity, processability, output rates and surface quality. Has also been used in other polymers.

STRUKTOL^® TPW 113:	Designed for filled olefin compounds as a processing aid and acts as a synergist to enhance properties where coupling agents are employed.

STRUKTOL^® TPW 709:	A highly efficient lubricant used when a broad range of composites are in the mix and can be used with or without coupling agents.

STRUKTOL^® RP 11:	This new additive is designed as a processing aid and mold release, and works especially well in polypropylene to modify viscosity. Additional Information

Let Struktol recommend the best processing aid for your particular application. Struktol expertise is not limited to processing aids only. They have the technology to formulate ingredients to obtain higher performance, next generation materials. These projects are handled with complete client propriety.
