1. Requirements of wire and cables (lubricants masterbatch)
Customers mainly focus on wire and cable materials:
The surface is dry and smooth, with good hand feel, no precipitation, material accumulation at the mold mouth, lubrication, wear resistance, scratch resistance, oxygen index, flame retardant, current (equipment torque), anti dripping, and stretching length.
1.1 Main focus point in wire and cables
1.1.1 The surface is dry and smooth, with a good touch —Lubricants masterbatch can solve it.
A dry surface of the wire means that it has not been corroded by moisture, oil, or other pollutants during production, storage, and use.
Wire with good hand feel usually has characteristics such as softness, smoothness, and moderate elasticity, which make it easier to operate and manage during use.
1.1.2 No precipitation —Lubricants masterbatch can solve it.
Non precipitation of wire refers to the fact that during the production and use of wire, the substances on its surface will not separate due to physical or chemical reactions.
1.1.3 Mold mouth material accumulation —Lubricants masterbatch can solve it.
Due to factors such as differences in flowability and poor compatibility with the matrix material during the extrusion process, certain components in the material flow slowly and stagnate and accumulate at the die. As production time prolongs, the phenomenon of material accumulation becomes more and more obvious.
1.1.4 Lubrication —Lubricants masterbatch can solve it.
The main purpose of lubrication is to reduce friction, reduce wear, improve the processing quality and production efficiency of wire rods
1.1.5 Wear resistant, scratch resistant —Lubricants masterbatch can solve it.
The wear and scratch resistance of wire is a key characteristic to ensure its ability to resist external friction and scratches during use.
1.1.6 Oxygen index, flame retardancy
The oxygen index and flame retardant performance of wires are important indicators for evaluating their safety. Oxygen index refers to the minimum oxygen concentration required for a material to maintain stable combustion in a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen under specific conditions, usually expressed as a volume percentage.
Flame retardant performance refers to the ability of a material to resist combustion or delay the spread of combustion when exposed to external sources of fire.
2. Description of our lubricants masterbatch (Xiamen Xiangxi New Material Co.)
Wire & Cables lubricant masterbatch is our company introduced to PE as a carrier silicone masterbatch, dedicated to a variety of wire and cable materials, play a role in reducing wear and tear, improve production efficiency and product stability and yield, to solve the problem of mold mouth accumulation of material, reduce torque, internal and external lubrication, and improve the surface of the anti-dust, etc.

Lubricants is a high molecular weight silicone masterbatch using PE as the carrier. Lubricants is mainly used in halogen free flame retardant wire and cables. It has better dispersibility and compatibility in plastics, while having less impact on material mechanical properties. DX753B has better demolding performance and smoothness. It also improve flame retardant and scratch-resistant. What’s more, it improve the external and internal lubrication
Lubricants masterbatch used high molecular weight siloxane, it does not precipitate, and is proportioned by automatic measuring equipment. It is extruded and cut into particles through twin-screw extrusion to ensure uniform product standards and avoid errors caused by manual measurement. The standardization of testing is achieved by conducting incoming raw material testing, sampling testing during production, and testing every ton of finished products to ensure that each ton of product is qualified. The product is halogen-free and non-toxic, and has passed various environmental certifications such as SGS, ROHS, REACH, PAHS, etc.
