Kraiburg HTF8586/58 TPE – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of HTF8586/58 in TPE formulations?

A: HTF8586/58 is a high-performance processing aid and flow modifier designed to improve melt homogeneity, reduce extrusion torque, and enhance surface finish in thermoplastic elastomer compounds—particularly in styrenic (TPE-S) and thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) systems.


Q2: Is HTF8586/58 compatible with common TPE base polymers such as SEBS or TPE-V?

A: Yes, HTF8586/58 demonstrates broad compatibility with major TPE base resins including SEBS, SBS, TPV (EPDM/PP), and TPE-E, supporting stable dispersion without phase separation or blooming under standard compounding conditions.


Q3: How should HTF8586/58 be incorporated into the formulation process?

A: It is typically added during the masterbatch stage or dry-blended with polymer and fillers prior to extrusion. For optimal dispersion, it is recommended to use moderate shear and avoid excessive residence time at elevated temperatures above 220 °C.


Q4: Does HTF8586/58 affect the mechanical properties of the final TPE compound?

A: When used within typical dosage ranges, HTF8586/58 maintains key performance attributes—including tensile strength, elongation, and hardness—while improving processability. Significant over-dosing may reduce crosslink density in dynamically vulcanized systems and should be avoided.
