STRUKTOL® WS 180 is a new concept in processing additives based on organosilicones which in many applications shows superior performance compared to conventional products. This new organosilicone is highly compatible with rubber compounds. This enables utilization of the highly efficient lubrication effects of silicone without exudation or bloom. Limited compatibility can occasionally be observed with compounds having a low filler content and/or a very high cross-link density.
In a unique way it improves flow properties and release behavior in the processing of rubber as well as mold release of vulcanizates.
STRUKTOL® WS 180 leads to best results in the processing of both special (e.g. ACM, ECO) and standard elastomers showing most advantageous effects, lowering viscosity, improving mill release and helping to solve mold release problems. It has an extremely low peroxide demand and has practically no effect on physical properties.
