| A mixture of light-colored aliphatic resins with a molecular weight below 2,000. At process temperatures, STRUKTOL® TR 060 melt has a natural tackiness and this "adhesive" nature enables it to act as an effective binder. This is important in polymers where high filler levels require the most uniform blending in order to maintain physical properties. In addition, the low molecular weight of STRUKTOL® TR 060 provides some viscosity reduction during processing which improves flow characteristics.
Many applications require a high level of uniform blending in the initial compounding stage. STRUKTOL® TR 060 has been shown to improve the blending of TPO compounds, flame retardant formulations and filled polymer systems. In many cases, this more homogenous blend results in better physical properties and fewer processing problems. Low level additions of STRUKTOL® TR 060 can be very useful in improving the performance for a range of highly filled compounds. STRUKTOL® TR 060 has good solubility in aliphatic, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
