STRUKTOL® A 60 is a rubber soluble zinc soap leading to a faster physical peptization of natural rubber. It starts to be effective in the lower temperature range of compounding and can be used for mastication in a separate stage as well as for single stage mixing. STRUKTOL® A 60 can be used in all types of rubber.
STRUKTOL® A 60 affects the rapid incorporation of the fillers which leads to a shorter mixing cycle. The Shore hardness of the vulcanizates is not influenced.
Being rubber soluble, STRUKTOL® A 60 does not bloom from the vulcanizates. Reduction of high dosages of stearic acid or paraffins is possible.
