STRUKTOL® W 34 can be used as a dispersing and processing additive in nearly all rubber polymers. For the production of compounds on open mills or in internal mixers, the addition of STRUKTOL® W 34 causes a better plasticity of elastomers which leads to a rapid incorporation of the fillers and other powdery ingredients. In highly filled compounds, STRUKTOL® W 34 counteracts the formation of filler agglomerates. The dispersing effect supports the fine dispersion of all mixing ingredients so that lots with uniform properties will result. Compounds containing STRUKTOL® W 34 tend to have less sticking to processing equipment. Furthermore, reduced bagging on the open mill is given when using STRUKTOL® W 34. Calendering is positively influenced by STRUKTOL® W 34; an increased output as well as improved surfaces and edges can be obtained in extrusion compounds. A clear reduction of energy consumption is achieved with STRUKTOL® W 34 at all processing stages. Vulcanizates resulting from compounds with STRUKTOL® W 34 have better release properties and also show better finish.
