Recommended Applications: STRUKTOL® TR 229 is a blend of compatibilizer and processing lubricant that was designed for use in Nylon 6 and 6,6 compounds as well as for PC/ABS blends. The compatibilizer makes it effective at binding filler materials to the polymer system by virtue of its adhesive nature while the lubricant part provides improved processing characteristics of filled and unfilled polyamides and PC/ABS blends. Typical improvements in processing are improved mixing and reduced die build-up (“die bearding”) and die drool. For injection molding applications, processors can expect to see better flow and mold filling vs. typical lubricants such as metallic stearates, montan waxes or amide waxes. STRUKTOL® TR 229 is excellent for use in recycling of Nylon 6 and 6,6 and PC, PC/ABS.
