Best processing aids for PE, XLPE wire and cable,
compatibility with highly loaded PE compounds, improve pocessablity, improves filler dispersion, increase throughput, modified surface quality, reduce die drool,

Description

Silicone Masterbatch ( Siloxane Masterbatch ) LYSI-412 is a pelletized formulation with 50% ultra high molecular weight siloxane polymer dispersed in liner low density polyethylene (LLDPE ). It is widely used as an efficient processing additive in PE compatible resin system to improve the processing properties and modify surface quality.

Compare to conventional lower molecular weight Silicone / Siloxane additives,like Silicone oil, silicone fluids or other type processing aids, SILIKE Silicone Masterbatch LYSI series are expected to give improved benefits, 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

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

….

Applications :

(1) HFFR / LSZH cable compounds

(2) XLPE cable compounds

(3) Telecommunication pipe , HDPE microduct

(4) Artificial fibers

(5) PE plastic film

(6) TPE/TPV compounds

Other PE compatible plastics

How to use

SILIKE LYSI series silicone masterbatch may be processed in the same way as the resin carrier on which they based. It can be used in classical melt blending process like Single /Twin screw extruder, injection molding. A physical blend with virgin polymer pellets is recommended .

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

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.cnWire and cable insulation and jacket ing have traditionally been made with PVC, as we known due to safety and environmental reasons，PE is replacing PVC in many wire and cable application.
However, PE requires heavy loading of ATH or MDH flame retardants, that have a demonstrated negative effect on processablity, including reduced screw torque totally slows down throughput and uses more energy, and increased die build -up and pressure that require frequent interruptions for cleaning.
Silike high molecular weight Siloxane polymer can solutions this issues.
