Tribological Properties of Modified by Silicone Masterbatch,
China anti wear and scratch resistance additive,

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

(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.cnSilicone masterbatch contents have a significant effect on the frictional performance of the composite.

The friction coefficient of composites could decrease with the increase of the silicone masterbatch contents.
When the content of silicone masterbatch is 5%, the wear extent could decrease 90. 7%, which means a little silicone masterbatch could improve the abrasion resistance.

As the applied load increases from 10 N to 20 N, the friction coefficient is varied in the range of 0. 33-0.54 and 0. 22-0.41, indicating that high load could contribute to the decline in friction coefficient of the composite.

The wear surface structure analysis shows that the plastic deformation of pure LLDPE surface is very serious, and the main wear mechanism is adhesive and abrasive wear.
However. after the addition of silicone masterbatch, the wear surface of the composite material becomes smooth, which is mainly caused by slight abrasive.
