1. Silicone masterbatch can effectively increase the melting rate and deformability of plastics, reduce viscosity, improve plasticization, prevent melt cracking, and thus improve processing efficiency.
The addition of silicone masterbatch can significantly reduce the temperature requirements for plastic melting and accelerate the transition of plastic from solid to molten state. This means that under the same processing conditions, plastics can reach the required melting state faster, thereby shortening the processing cycle and improving production efficiency.
Silicone masterbatch can improve the rheological properties of plastics, making them more prone to deformation at high temperatures and adapting to the shape of molds, which is particularly important for the production of complex structural components.
Good deformability not only helps reduce the internal stress of the product, but also improves its dimensional stability and surface quality.
Viscosity is one of the key factors affecting the processing performance of plastics. Silicone masterbatch, through its unique chemical structure, can effectively reduce the viscosity of plastic melt, making the flow of melt in the mold smoother, reducing the resistance of filling and exhaust, and thus reducing the risk of defects such as bubbles and shrinkage marks in the product.
Plasticization is an important step in plastic processing, which directly affects the performance of the final product. Silicone masterbatch can promote uniform plasticization of plastics, ensuring that plastic particles are fully mixed during the melting process, avoiding the problem of product performance degradation caused by poor plasticization.
Melt cracking is a common problem in plastic processing, which can lead to rough surface and reduced strength of the product. The addition of silicone masterbatch can effectively prevent this phenomenon from occurring.
It improves the elasticity and flowability of the melt, reduces the shear stress experienced by the melt during high-speed injection or extrusion, and thus avoids melt fracture.
2. Silicone masterbatch can significantly reduce the friction coefficient, improve the smoothness of plastic products, reduce processing energy consumption, and extend the service life of processing equipment.
The addition of silicone masterbatch can significantly improve the surface properties of plastic products, making them smoother.
This improvement in smoothness not only enhances the tactile sensation of the product, but also makes it smoother during subsequent use or processing, reducing the resistance caused by friction.
Friction is an important factor in increasing energy consumption during plastic processing. Silicone masterbatch reduces the energy loss of processing equipment in plastic melting, injection, extrusion and other processes by lowering the friction coefficient.
This means that under the same production conditions, plastic products using silicone masterbatch can consume less energy, thereby reducing production costs.
Friction not only increases energy consumption, but also leads to wear and damage of processing equipment. Silicone masterbatch reduces friction and lowers the wear rate between equipment components, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.
For plastic processing companies, this means less equipment maintenance and replacement costs, as well as more stable production capacity.
3. Silicone masterbatch can improve the dispersibility of pigments and fillers, with good stability and non migration, which is crucial for the uniformity and long-term performance of plastic products.
Silicone masterbatch has excellent dispersibility and can effectively improve the dispersion state of pigments and fillers in plastic matrix. This means that the pigment particles can be more evenly distributed in the plastic, avoiding the occurrence of agglomeration and precipitation.
Good dispersibility not only improves the appearance quality of plastic products, such as uniform color and no spots, but also enhances the physical and mechanical properties of the products.
Silicone masterbatch exhibits good stability during plastic processing and use. It can resist the influence of processing conditions such as high temperature and high pressure, and maintain the stability of its chemical structure and properties.
This stability ensures the long-term effectiveness of silicone masterbatch in plastic products, without failure due to changes in processing or usage environment.
Silicone masterbatch also has non migratory properties, meaning it will not migrate to the surface of plastic products or interact with other materials during use or storage.
This characteristic is crucial for maintaining the uniformity and long-term performance of plastic products. Non transferability ensures the long-lasting effect of silicone masterbatch in plastic products, without causing changes or failures in product performance due to migration.
4. Silicone masterbatch can improve the wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and aging resistance of plastic products, increase elongation and suspension beam impact strength.
The addition of silicone masterbatch can enhance the hardness and wear resistance of the surface of plastic products. Plastic products often need to withstand physical effects such as friction and wear in daily use or specific environments.
The improved wear resistance of silicone masterbatch means that the product can maintain its surface integrity and appearance quality for a longer period of time, extending its service life.
Plastic products may come into contact with corrosive substances such as chemicals and acid rain in certain applications. The addition of silicone masterbatch can effectively improve the resistance of plastic products to these corrosive substances, reducing or preventing the occurrence of corrosion phenomena.
This is of great significance for ensuring the stable operation and long-term use of products in harsh environments.
Plastic products are prone to aging phenomena such as discoloration, brittleness, and cracking due to various factors such as light, heat, and oxygen during long-term use.
The addition of silicone masterbatch can significantly improve the aging resistance of plastic products, delay the aging process, and maintain the long-term performance and appearance quality of the products.
Elongation is an important indicator for measuring the flexibility of plastic products, while the impact strength of suspended beams reflects the product’s resistance to impact loads.
The addition of silicone masterbatch can increase the elongation and suspension impact strength of plastic products, making them more flexible and tough when subjected to external forces, and less prone to fracture or damage. This is of great significance for improving the safety and reliability of products.
