Recommended Applications

STRUKTOL® HP 55 is a high performance process additive developed for the rubber industry. Benefits have been shown in the tire industry, particularly where solution SBR and NR are being used. Processing benefits are seen without adverse effects on dynamic properties. This leads to potential application in other tire and non-tire applications (conveyor belts, motor mounts, hose, etc.)

STRUKTOL® HP 55 offers improved mixing and milling characteristics, hot tear and reversion resistance are directionally improved. Testing has shown a reduction in Tan Delta when used as a partial replacement for process oil.

Other benefits include viscosity reduction and improved flow properties. The processability and reversion resistance improvement may provide potential for higher productivity and higher temperature/faster cure times. STRUKTOL® HP 55 can be added with the polymers in most mix cycles.
