Polyolefins such as polypropylene (PP), EPDM-modified PP, Polypropylene talc compounds, Thermoplastic olefins (TPOs), and thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are increasingly used in automotive applications because they have advantages in recyclability, lightweight, and low cost compared to engineering plastics.
But, polypropylene talc compounds, TPO, and TPE-S are not very scratch-resistant. these Materials for automotive interior applications have to meet stringent requirements as regards processability, durability, and resistance to a great number of substances and forces throughout the service life of the part.
So, how to solve scratch problems and achieve low friction demands in these Polyolefins compounds, producers need to adjust the formula of their products to give answers to these requirements.
Silicone Masterbatches could be of value to your product design.
It will improve the processing properties of thermoplastic materials and the surface quality of finished components for automotive interiors, as it improves the distribution of fillers and pigments and fixes them into the polymer matrix. this the anchorage groups ensure a durable and permanent set with no migration effect or fogging effect.
SILIKE Focus on all kinds of silicone masterbatches. Anti-scratch additive based on high molecular weight siloxane, no migratory, benefits for Automotive polypropylene compounds, it helps improve the long-lasting anti-scratch properties of automotive interiors, meeting anti-scratch test standards PV3952 and GMW 14688. Under the pressure of 10N, the ΔL values less than 1.5, no stickiness, and low VOCs. It is also suitable for all processes of virgin PP like household appliances, furniture, & injection molding application for easy mold release, anti-scratch, etc. as well as providing high aesthetics for instrument panels, consoles, and door panels…
