 compounds, including metallocene catalyzed and silica-filled elastomers, are said to have shown improved processing and release using this formula.

 and alkanols, off-white in color and soft solid at room temperature, the process aid INT-1117EL is said to be suitable for applications such as automotive mechanical rubber goods, footwear, electronic EPDM/plastics and other rubber/plastic combinations. The INT-1117EL process aid is internal mixer or roll-milled into the formulation at 0.5-2.5 phr.

Many EPDM materials have excellent physical properties, but their chemical affinity for metal is said to make them difficult to process, according to the company. Adding INT-1117EL is said to resolve these problems easily. The company's extensive testing for metallocene catalyzed and silica-filled EPDM/PP compounds is said to have demonstrated reduced tack in milling and greatly improved release when molding.

This company manufactures hundreds of process-specific external release agents and internal lubricants for thermosets thermosets, materials that can not be softened on heating. In thermosetting polymers, the polymer chains are joined (or cross-linked) by intermolecular bonding. Thermosets are usually supplied as partially polymerized or as monomer-polymer mixtures. , thermoplastics and elastomers.
