Engineered
Process Additive for Nylon Resin and Compounds
Struktol Company of America Introduces New
Lubricant
for Nylon 6 and 66 Compounds (read
press release)
STRUKTOL® TR
063A is
a unique process additive designed specifically for use in
polyamides. Whether you
need improved filler dispersion, lower process temperatures or
better metal release, our additive - through its exceptional
compatibility with the polymer - is the solution you have been
looking for.
A loading level of 0.5 – 2.0% of STRUKTOL® TR
063A is
all you need to achieve:
- Lower equipment motor loads, reduced torques and pressures
- Less die and screw wear from highly abrasive compounds
- Significant reduction of die “beard” formation
- Lower viscosities
- Retained physical properties

Nylon compounds containing STRUKTOL® TR
063A have
been shown to run without beard formation on the edges of dies
for significantly longer periods of time than compounds without
it. This is due to the superior metal release characteristics
provided by our additive resulting in smoother extrusions, fewer
compound/part defects and increased productivity. Not only
will the improvements be seen during the compounding stage, but
end-processors will also see lower machine torques and pressures
and a more consistent, user friendly compound.
