1. Anti scratch masterbatch in PP compounding
“Anti scratch masterbatch-Silicone masterbatch in PP compounding” refers to the process of incorporating silicone-based additives or fillers into polypropylene (PP) during the compounding process to enhance the material’s properties or achieve specific functional requirements.
Preparation of Silicone Masterbatch: Anti scratch masterbatch or fillers are mixed with a carrier resin (usually PP or a compatible resin) to create a concentrated masterbatch. This masterbatch contains a high concentration of the silicone additive.
PP Compounding: The silicone masterbatch is then added to the PP base resin during the compounding process. This process typically involves melting the PP and silicone masterbatch together in a mixer or extruder, blending them thoroughly, and then extruding or molding the resulting mixture into the desired form.
Potential Benefits:
Improved Surface Properties: Anti scratch masterbatch can improve the surface smoothness, gloss, and scratch resistance of PP.
Reduced Friction and Wear: Anti scratch masterbatch can also reduce the friction coefficient and wear resistance of PP, making it suitable for applications where low friction is desired.
Enhanced Processing Characteristics: The addition of silicone can improve the flowability and processability of PP during extrusion, molding, or other forming processes.
Improved Thermal Stability: Silicone additives can enhance the thermal stability and resistance to heat aging of PP.
Electrical Properties: In some cases, silicone additives can improve the electrical properties of PP, such as resistivity and arc resistance.
Considerations:
Compatibility: It’s important to ensure that the silicone additive or masterbatch is compatible with the PP base resin to avoid phase separation or other issues during processing or use.
Dispersion: Proper dispersion of the silicone additive throughout the PP matrix is critical to achieving the desired benefits.
Processing Conditions: The compounding process conditions, such as temperature, mixing time, and shear rate, can affect the dispersion and effectiveness of the silicone additive.
2. Anti scratch masterbatch – silicone masterbatch from us
Anti scratch masterbatch DX8502 is a high molecular weight silicone masterbatch using PP as the carrier. It is mainly used in PP material or automotive interior. It has better dispersibility and compatibility in plastics, while having less impact on material mechanical properties. Anti scratch masterbatch DX8502 has better demolding performance and smoothness. Besides, it improve the performance of wear-resistant, anti-scratch and lubrication well.
