All About Applications Of Silicone Masterbatch

Theoretically, Silicone is defined as a man-made substance. Generally available as rubber like plastic polymer or in liquid form, Silicone is a resultant of silicon and other chemicals. This non-metallic element is also used for making an array of glass, bricks and plastic products. Likewise, the Liquid Silicone is mostly used as oil for the parts and components of machine. Other than that, Silicone is also extensively used for making computer chips. Talking specifically about Silicone Masterbatch, it is generally used as an additive in plastic products. It is used for altering properties like friction coefficient, abrasion resistance and lubricity of polymers. Silicon Masterbatch has following effects on the plastic products for which it is used as an additive:

• It enhances the smoothness and gloss of the plastic surface.
• Silicone Masterbatch remarkably improves the surface properties of plastic products.
• It also reduces the friction coefficient of plastic.
• Silicon Masterbatch facilitates easy molding of polymer resins for making different types of plastic products.
• It is also used for increasing the smoothness of polymer resins.
• Silicon Masterbatch also increases plastic product’s resistance to abrasion and scratches.
• This additive significantly improves the flow and processing of polymer resins to make plastic product.
• Silicon Masterbatch also reduces the deposits and clots in polymer resin and makes it softer.
• It is also known for considerably reducing the die pressure and torque.
• Silicon Masterbatch is also used for increasing the amount of polymer resin which ultimately elevates the production of plastic products.

Following are few products in which Silicon Masterbatch is used as an additive:

• Injection molded products
• HDPE bottles and boxes
• Cross-linked PE
• PP packaging films
• BOPET films
• Sport shoes
• HDPE ducts and wires
• Silicone core pipe
• HFFR cable materials
• Milk packaging films
• Automotive interiors
• Television and LCD monitor
• PET sheets
• Nylon fishing lines
• EVA films
