What do you need to know about silicone masterbatch?


Silicone is a plastic additive that helps in enhancing productivity and quality of products in the polymer processing industry. The silicone masterbatch is found in a pellet form which has an ultra-high molecular weight of polysiloxane or silicone gum. 

The masterbatch is used in plastic processing to alter mechanical properties like the coefficient of friction, abrasion resistance and act as a lubricant for polymers. Here are the top usages of this additive in the plastics processing industry: 

l  Increases the smoothness and gloss of the plastic surface. 
l  Enhance the surface properties of plastic products. 
l  Reduces the coefficient of friction in printing and packaging solution. 
l  Enhance moldability of polymer resin for easy plastic manufacturing. 
l  Increase the product's resistance to abrasion and scratches. 
l  Improve flow and processability of polymer resins. 
l  Reduce the clot and deposit in polymer resins to make it soft. 
l  Increase output and production rate without negligible defects of products. 
l  Reduce die pressure and torque in the processing. 

Thus, this additive is one of the most popular additives in the plastics processing industry to make packaging, printing, and other products. The top products obtained in processing polymers with this additive in the industry are: 

l  Products related to injection moulding. 
l  Bottles and boxes of HDPE
l  Packaging films of PP. 
l  BOPET film 
l  Duct and wires of HDPE. 
l  Silicone core pipes. 
l  Interiors of automotive accessories. 
l  Television LCD monitor
l  PET sheet. 
l  Nylon fishing lines
l  And other products. 

Hence, the industrial applications of silicone masterbatch are many. However, a company needs to obtain the best additive according to requirement and compatibility of polymer resins. Otherwise, there will be severe flaws in the processing and products after yielding.
