Description

SILIMER 5140 is a polyester modified silicone additive with excellent thermal stability. It is used in thermoplastic products such as PE, PP, PVC, PMMA, PC, PBT, PA, PC/ABS, etc. It could Obviously improve the scratch-resistant and wear-resistant surface properties of products, improve the lubricity and mold release of the material processing process so that the product property is better. At the same time, SILIMER 5140 has a special structure with good compatibility with the matrix resin, no precipitation, no effect on the appearance and surface treatment of products.
