Reduce coefficient of friction and improve wear for Polyamide Compounds,
Silicone-Based Additives for Polyamide Compounds,

Description

Silicone powder ( Siloxane powder ) LYSI-100A is a powder formulation which contains 55% UHMW Siloxane polymer dispersed in Silica . It is particularly developed for Polyolefin masterbatches/ filler masterbatches to improve the dispersion property by better infiltrate in fillers.

Compare to conventional lower molecular weight Silicone / Siloxane additives,like Silicone oil, silicone fluids or other type processing aids, SILIKE Silicone powder LYSI-100A is expected to give improved benefits on processing proopertise and modify the surface quality of final products, eg,. Less screw slippage , improved mold release, reduce die drool, a lower coefficient of friction, fewer paint and printing problems, and a broader range of performance capabilities.

Fundamental Parameters

Name     LYSI-100A
Appearance  White powder
Active content %  55
Dosage  %(w/w) 0.2~2%

Benefits

(1) Improve processing properties including better flow ability , reduced extrusion die drool , less extruder torque , better molding filling & release

(2) Improve surface quality like surface slip, lower Coefficient of friction

(3)  Greater abrasion & scratch resistance

(4) Faster throughput , reduce product defect rate.

(5) Enhance stability compare with traditional processing aid or lubricants

(6) Slightly increase LOI and reduce heat release rate , smoke ,and carbon monoxide evolution

…..

Applications

(1) Wire&cable compounds

(2) PVC compounds

(3) PVC footwear

(4) Color masterbatches

(5) Filler masterbatches

(6) Engineering plastics

(7) Others

…………..

Typical applications:

For cable compounds, obvious improve processing properties and surface finish .

For PVCfilm/sheet to improve surface smooth and processing properties.

For PVC shoe’s sole , improve abrasion resistance .

For PVC,PA, PC, PPS high temperature engineering plastics, can improve the flow of the resin and processing properties, promote the crystallization of PA, improve the surface smoothness and impact strength.

How to use

SILIKE silicone powder can be used in classical melt blending process like Single /Twin screw extruder, injection molding. A physical blend with virgin polymer pellets is recommended . For better test result, Strongly suggest to pre-blend Silicone powder and thermoplastic pellets prior to introduction to extrusion process.

Recommend dosage

When added to polyethylene or similar thermoplastic at 0.2 to 1% , improved processing and flow of the resin is expected, including better mold filling, less extruder torque, internal lubricants, mold release and faster throughput; At a higher addition level , 2~5%, improved surface properties are expected, including lubricity , slip, lower coefficient of friction and greater mar/scratch and abrasion resistance

StoragePackage & Storage

20Kg / bag , craft paper bag ; Transport as non-hazardous chemical. Store in a cool , well ventilated place .

Shelf life

Original characteristics remain intact for 24 months from the production date , if kept in recommend storage.

Chengdu Silike Technology Co., Ltd is a manufacturer and supplier of silicone material, who has dedicated to R&D of the combination of Silicone with thermoplastics for 20+ years, products including but not limited to Silicone masterbatch , Silicone powder, Anti-scratch masterbatch, Super-slip Masterbatch, Anti-abrasion masterbatch, Anti-Squeaking masterbatch, Silicone wax and Silicone-Thermoplastic Vulcanizate(Si-TPV), for more details and test data, please feel free to contact Ms.Amy Wang  Email: amy.wang@silike.cnDo you need to improve the slip, wear, and processing performance of polyamide (PA) resins and glass fiber-reinforced PA compounds for highly demanding applications?
SILIKE offers a silicone-based additive LYSI-100A – which provides a reduced coefficient of friction (COF) and improved wear resistance at lower loadings than polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) while retaining important mechanical properties.

In contrast to PTFE, this product avoids the use of fluorine, a potential medium- and long-term toxicity concern. It also additives in processing efficiency and improves material injectability.

A second product, SILIKE LYSI-406 Masterbatch, helps you deliver scratch resistance while enhancing surface quality. It also helps to improve polyamide compounds’ injectability.
