Cost Reduction
An injection molder making plastic coat hangers from recycled polyolefin was able to see a 2%
reduction in cycle time using approximately 0.5% of STRUKTOL TR 016 as an internal lubricant
and mold release agent. This 2% reduction in cycle time reduced his overall manufactured cost per
part by more than 2%, saving him a significant amount of money and increasing his annual
production capacity by a whopping 50,000 parts! In this case, an increased initial raw material cost
was easily offset by greatly improved production capabilities.
Struktol Intelligent Additive Solutions are the result of a partnering effort between our customers
and our sales and technical staff. While many compounders may be comfortable with their current
additive supplier, with the investment of a little time in analysis and testing of Struktol additives, the
return will be well worth the effort.
STRUKTOL Plastics Additives
TR 016 An extremely effective lubricant and wetting agent that can be used in a wide variety of polymer
systems. Also provides release characteristics.
TR 071 Similar to TR 016 except the calcium ion is replaced by a zinc ion. Works well in HIPS, PS and
color concentrates.
Ionic
TR 077 An efficient lubricant system that works extremely well in filled and unfilled nylon for
processability improvement and increased output rates.
TR 251 A blend of anionic and nonionic surfactants for areas where EBS is being used. An effective
dispersant and wetting agent for pigments and fillers in a wide variety of polymer systems.
TR 255 is the FDA version.
TR 041 A nonionic, ester-based wetting agent for polar fillers and pigments used for improved
Non-Ionic
dispersion and metal release. Contains no metal ions. TR 045 is the FDA version.
TR 044W Provides flow and metal release with little or no effect on physical properties in most polymer
systems. The best choice for polar or engineering resins. Very good heat stability.
TR 060 A unique compatibilizer and blending aid that reduces splay in colored and/or filled olefins.
Resinous
Extremely compatible with olefins and can be used to increase extrusion output rates.
TR 065 A high temperature compatibilizer which works up to process temperatures of 370oC. Excellent
for recycling and blending polymer systems, including incorporation of impact modifiers.
TR 121 Primary oleamide used as a slip agent in polyolefins. Its uniform bloom makes it a valuable flow
and release agent in thermoplastics and thermoset elastomers.
TR 131 Erucic acid amide used as a higher temperature slip agent. Its slower migration rate is beneficial
for printing films.
Amides
TR 141 Saturated primary amide which blooms in an invisible monolayer for surface appearance.
Improved surface in rotomolded compounds.
TR EBS Ethylene bisstearamide wax for a wide range of polymers used for improved dispersion of
pigments and fillers and viscosity modification.
Antioxidants DSTDP and DLTDP thioester secondary antioxidants for use in conjunction with phenolic
primary antioxidants in a wide range of polymers. STRUKTOL Morstille 18 DSTDP is a
pastille version combining unique handling capabilities and packaging versatility.
Other
V-Series Simple and complex fatty acid esters for use in a wide range of PVC applications. Act as
viscosity modifiers, metal release agents and processing improvers.
Zinc Stearate A high purity micro-bead or pellet form of zinc stearate. Used extensively in resin production,
Metal Sterates
compounding and color concentrate production. Other grades include Vegetable Grade and
Clear Melt.

Our sales and technical staff are your introduction to Struktol Intelligent Additive Solutions.
They are the industry's most knowledgeable plastics additive experts. These people are
responsible for initiating the valuation of your compound or processing problem. Once they
have gathered the appropriate information and data on a particular customer compound, a
preliminary analysis will identify opportunities for improving compound performance.
Additionally, a complete cost analysis will demonstrate how Struktol solutions can produce
lower overall costs.
The technical capabilities at Struktol are unequalled anywhere in the world. ISO 9001
certification means that everyone at Struktol is focused on product quality. From the lab
through manufacturing and shipping, the entire process is governed by the desire to produce
the highest quality products. But today, outstanding product quality and performance is not
enough. Every customer is somehow unique and often requires custom solutions. Struktol is
dedicated to providing not only on-time delivery, but also the widest array of custom
packaging capabilities. These include small pre-weighs to bulk bags to steel drums.
