Way to achieve better tribological properties and greater processing efficiency of PA compounds,
greater processing efficiency PA compounds, SIILKE’s silicone masterbatch, Silicone Additives, Silicone Powder,

Description

Silicone Masterbatch ( Siloxane Masterbatch ) LYSI-307 is a pelletized formulation with 50% ultra high molecular weight siloxane polymer dispersed in Polyamide-6 ( PA6 ). It is widely used as an efficient processing additive in PA 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 silicone polymers, 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) PA6, PA66 compounds

(2) Glass fiber PA compounds

(3) Engineering plastics

(4) Other PA compatible systems

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 . For better result , pre-drying is recommended for 3~4 hours at 80~90 ℃.

Recommend dosage

When added to PA 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

25Kg / bag , craft paper bag

Storage

Transport as non-hazardous chemical. Store in a cool , well ventilated place .

Shelf life

Original characteristics remain intact for 24 months from the production date , if kept in recommend storage.

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.cnAlthough PA has good mechanical properties, it cannot be used where excessive load, friction, and wear are the main causes of failures due to low tensile strength, low hardness, and high wear rate compared to metals.
Usually, various fibers and polytetrafluoroethylene were used to improve the mechanical and tribological properties of PA.

Here find a new way to achieve better tribological properties and greater processing efficiency of PA compounds.
Silicone additives have also been used as efficiency agents in PA resins and glass fiber-reinforced PA compounds.
Especially, Some PA Makers have been raving about SIILKE’s silicone masterbatch and silicone powder which significantly reduced the coefficient of friction and improved wear resistance at lower loadings than PTFE while retaining important mechanical properties. It also additives in processing efficiency and improves material injectability. Besides, helps finished components deliver scratch resistance while enhancing surface quality.
