STRUKTOL® TR 071 contains a combination of a fatty acid metal salt and a unique amide structure. In this regard, it is similar to STRUKTOL® TR 016, except the calcium ion in STRUKTOL® TR 016 is replaced by a zinc ion in STRUKTOL® TR 071. The amide has hydrogen-bonding capability, which enables it to act as a physical "coupling agent" between the polymer and a range of filler systems.
It can wet both polar and non-polar fillers, making it a valuable blending aid for high-filled systems, as well as an excellent internal lubricant at process temperatures. STRUKTOL® TR 071 has shown particular efficiency with flame retarded, high impact polystyrene compounds and selected brominated compounds for flame retarding applications.
