Silike’s Breakthroughs: Where Technology Meets Sustainability

As a pioneering innovator in silicone additive solutions, Silike remains steadfast in its commitment to innovation-driven growth and green and sustainable development. By relentlessly advancing the boundaries of silicone technology, we enable material performance breakthroughs and inject transformative value into the plastics and rubber industries. At this exhibition, we showcased a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance, eco-friendly plastic processing additives and material solutions. These innovations are designed to address critical industry challenges while aligning with global sustainability goals, delivering greener, more efficient, and superior-quality products and services to global clients.

At the exhibition, Silike Technology’s booth captivated the audience with its innovative technology and futuristic design. Our meticulously crafted experience zone, featuring immersive technology demonstrations and industry trend insights, drew packaging giants, automotive suppliers, electronics brands, and footwear innovators, reinforcing Silike’s role as a trusted sustainability partner.

Key highlights included:

Long-Lasting Film Slip & Anti-Block Agents

Applications: PE blown films, CPP, BOPP, EVA, TPU films，cast films, extrusion coatings

Innovation: No blooming/bleeding, stable friction coefficient, and no compromise on printability or heat sealing—solving the long-standing trade-off between film performance and production stability.

PFAS Free PPA Additives & Masterbatches

Applications: films, pipes, wires&cables, synthetic turf, monofilaments,masterbatches, and petrochemical industries.

Advantage: Reduce melt viscosity, improve internal/external lubrication, eliminate melt fracture, minimize die buildup & increases output while complying with the EU’s strict PFAS regulations, offering a seamless shift to greener, high-efficiency processing.

Sensory Revolution: Matte TPU & Soft-Touch Granules

Applications: Si-TPV UltraWear Silicone Vegan Leather, film, wire and cables, automotive interiors, high-end decor, 3C electronics, apparel packaging and more…

Breakthrough: Delivers skin-friendly, ultra-soft, scratch-resistant, and abrasion-resistant finishes—DMF-free with no plasticizer migration, ideal for luxury tactile experiences.

Biodegradable Material Modifiers

Focus: Specially developed for biodegradable polymers such as PLA, PCL, and PBAT, our modifiers provide lubrication, enhanced processing performance, and improved dispersion of powdered components. Additionally, they help reduce odor during processing while maintaining mechanical properties—all without compromising the material’s biodegradability.

At the CHINAPLAS 2025, we met with many new and old customers and showed them many new environmentally friendly materials, they showed great interest in our products, and both sides hope to further strengthen and deepen the cooperation.

CHINAPLAS 2025 Trends: The Future is Green & Smart

1. Green Materials Take Center Stage
Bio-based polymers (e.g., Arkema’s Rilsan® PA11, with an 80% lower carbon footprint) and chemically recycled resins (Kingfa’s ISCC-certified LCP) were major focal points.
Regulatory drivers: The EU’s PPWR (Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation) and PFAS restrictions accelerated demand for sustainable alternatives.
2. Smart Manufacturing Gains Momentum
AI-driven production (e.g., KraussMaffei’s APC Plus) and cloud-based process optimization tools demonstrated the rapid adoption of Industry 4.0 solutions.
Digital twins and predictive maintenance emerged as critical technologies for improving efficiency and reducing downtime.
3. Cross-Industry Collaboration Expands
New Energy: Advanced materials for EV battery casings and lightweight composites to enhance performance and sustainability.
Healthcare: Increased use of anti-microbial polymers for medical devices and single-use alternatives to minimize contamination risks.
