Odor-Removing Additives

Struktol Company of America has launched two additives—RP 17 and RP 53—to address odor challenges in recycled plastics and support higher recycled-content use without sacrificing product quality. RP 17 acts as an odor mask and also serves as a processing aid, improving lubrication, mold release, mixing efficiency, and surface finish. RP 53 works as an odor neutralizer, targeting compounds such as mercaptans, amines, and phosphites that commonly cause off-notes in recycled resins.

Both low-dust formulations enhance filler dispersion, operate over a broad range of processing temperatures, and help manufacturers meet environmental standards by reducing VOC emissions. Together, they offer a practical solution for improving the sensory and performance characteristics of recycled plastics.
