The applications of silicone additives in the polymer, plastics and compounds industry continue to grow as more benefits are identified by combining the unique properties of thermoplastics and silicone , with an affordable cost.
About the thermoplastics, with the fast development of the global economy, and the enhancement of mankind's environmental consciousness, the requirement of each field to the quality and performance of components and parts.
While, Proven that makers of thermoplastics seek to improve extrusion rates, achieve consistent mold filling, excellent surface quality, lower power consumption, and help reduce energy costs, all without making modifications to conventional processing equipment.They can benefit from silicone additives. as well as, help their product efforts toward a more circular economy.
The advanced technology in the field of silicone additives is the use of ultra high molecular weight (UHMW) silicone polymer (PDMS) in various thermoplastic resins, combining excellent processing with an affordable cost. The silicone additives are converted into solid forms, either pellets or powders, that are easy to feed, or mix, into plastics during compounding, extrusion, or injection molding.
SILIKE® LYSI series silicone masterbatch formulation with 25- 65 weight percent functional UHMW silicone polymer dispersed in various thermoplastic carriers, such as LDPE, EVA, TPEE, HDPE, ABS, PP, PA6, PET, TPU, HIPS, POM, LLDPE, PC, SAN, etc. And as pellets so as to allow easy addition of the additive directly to the thermoplastic during processing.
Scanning Electron Microscopy of a 50% UHMW silicone polymer (PDMS) dispersed in thermoplastic and showing the fine dispersion of the silicone into the organic phase. Because its high molecular weight reduces its mobility and effectively anchors the additive into the plastic.
During molding operations, our LYSI silicone additives process aids can increase the lubricity of the molding compound, thus lowering melt flow resistance and easing better mold filling& mold release, less extruding torque, faster throughput . May also help improve surface quality of finished components for automotive interiors, cable and wire compounds, plastic pipes, shoe soles, film, textile, household electrical appliances, and other industries, including lower COF, greater abrasion & scratch resistance, mar resistance, hand feel...
Other valued benefits to using the silicone masterbatch technology vs. using traditional processing aid, lubricants and silicone fluid additives include:
1.Long term stability,high temperature non-precipitation sticky;
2.Materials handling, in which dirt has an affinity to silicone fluid;
3.Easy use, additional pumps, flow meter and equipment are not needed;
4. Loss of 10-16% of fluids due to high viscosity and sticking to sides of drums;
5. Recycling of drums, eco-friendly, among others.
As for the classification of silicone additives, many brands and businesses classify their products differently according to their and Different resin carrier, such as Dow Corning MULTIBASE MB50 series by their thermoplastics resin, Wacker GENIOPLAST® Pellets as molecular-weight silicone content.Of course, we can also conveniently search for the silicone additives you want in accordance with these resin and molecular-weight silicone content. Or do you have different requirements for materials?And we can according to from customer's own need to develop a new grade which is special for this products. But, how to define and classify silicone additives is not the most important thing for the factories producing thermoplastics .What thermoplastics or compounds manufacturers care more about is: that is easy to use and possess functionality designed to optimize their productivity , enhance surface effects and high-speed processability,elimination of troublesome extruder build-up.
Below, please take a look at the classification of silicone additives for applications when you want to looking for :
COF reduction for HDPE telecom duct
Abrasion resistance for shoe soles
aids for HFFR,LSZH,XLPE,PVC wire&cable compounds
Scratch resistance for TPO Automotive compounds
Additives for WPC(wood plastic composites)
