Description

Silicone powder ( Siloxane powder ) LYSI-300C  is a powder formulation which contains 60% 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-300C 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

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

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

Package

Oils are the most common lubricants used for engineering plastics, as they provide good lubrication and can be easily applied. MoS2 is often used as a lubricant, as it has excellent lubricating properties. Greases are also used to provide additional protection against wear and tear. Waxes can be used to reduce friction and improve the surface finish of the plastic.

Silicone powder can be used as a lubricant for engineering plastics. It is often used in injection molding and extrusion processes to reduce friction between the plastic and the mold or die. The powder can also be used to reduce wear on moving parts, such as gears and bearings, and to improve the flow of molten plastic. Silicone powder is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and has a low coefficient of friction, making it an ideal lubricant for engineering plastics.
