Kraiburg STC9313/46 TPE – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of STC9313/46 in TPE formulations?

A: STC9313/46 is a specialized processing aid and surface modifier designed to enhance melt flow, reduce die buildup, and improve gloss and tactile feel in thermoplastic elastomer compounds—particularly in soft-touch overmolding and extruded profiles.


Q2: Is STC9313/46 compatible with common TPE base polymers such as SEBS, TPE-S, and TPE-V?

A: Yes, STC9313/46 demonstrates broad compatibility with styrenic (SEBS/SBS), thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV), and polyolefin-based TPE systems. It disperses readily during standard compounding processes without phase separation or adverse effects on mechanical properties.


Q3: How should STC9313/46 be incorporated into the manufacturing process?

A: It is typically added during the masterbatch stage or directly into the extruder feed throat at temperatures below 200 °C. Pre-drying is not required, and it remains stable under standard TPE processing conditions including injection molding and extrusion.


Q4: Does STC9313/46 affect the final product’s regulatory compliance for food-contact or skin-contact applications?

A: STC9313/46 is formulated without intentionally added heavy metals, phthalates, or known allergens. While it is not itself certified, it has been successfully used in formulations that meet relevant food-contact and skin-safe requirements—subject to full system validation by the compounder or end-user.
