Case Studies:Innovation In Action
Improved Processing
A compounder and molder of automotive parts was processing their nylon at too high a temperature causing longer cycle times due to cooling and potential issues with stability of the polymer. They replaced their incumbent lubricant system with STRUKTOL® TR 063A which allowed them to reduce the temperature of their compounding and molding processes by almost 20°C, leading to more consistent compounding and faster molding cycle times. In addition, they reduced the tendency to see discoloration in the parts due to stability issues, maximizing the performance of their heat stabilizer package.
Increased Melt Flow
A compounder of recycled polyolefins was able to dramatically increase the melt flow rate of a polypropylene resin containing ~25% high-density polyethylene with the addition of 0.5% of STRUKTOL® RP 37 processing aid/ viscosity modifier. The higher melt compound also resulted in better processing and release properties in both extrusion and injection molding applications due to the synergistic effect of this multi-component additive. STRUKTOL® RP 37 enabled the customer to improve and add value to an otherwise difficult to process material. The additional level of STRUKTOL® RP 37 is adjusted depending on the melt flow of the starting compound and the desired melt flow required for the application.
Odor Neutralization / VOC Reduction
A compounder of a colorant compound used for interior automotive was able to reduce 30%+ VOC by adding only 2% of STRUKTOL® SA 1259 designed for odor and volatile (VOC) control.
Recycle Content Incorporation
A customer manufacturing extruded composites had available an ample source of recycled PE, PP and LLDPE scrap, including trimmings from tetra-pack juice boxes. Also available were large amounts of ground up automobile tires. By using one of our STRUKTOL® TR lubricant products in combination with one of our STRUKTOL® homogenizers, loadings of up to 70% crumb rubber were incorporated into an extruded profile with good processing characteristics and physical properties.
