UPCOMING WEBINAR: Permanent Anti-Squeak Performance for PC/ABS

Attend a free webinar introducing a new anti-squeak additive for polycarbonate/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (PC/ABS) blends from Dow Performance Silicones on May 23, 2018 at 3:00 p.m. Central European Time (CET).

It delivers immediate and permanent anti-squeak performance without the need for time-consuming post-treatments or expensive specialty resins. It also preserves important mechanical properties of PC/ABS, such as the polymer’s impact resistance.

The NVH Challenge

Reducing noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) in auto interiors, appliances and other applications can be a challenge. To mitigate the stick-slip phenomenon in PC/ABS parts that causes friction, vibration and squeaking noise, OEMs and designers often rely on:

• Post-treatments      such as coatings, lubricants and felts that are time-consuming,      labor-intensive and difficult to apply uniformly
• Specialty      anti-squeak resins that can cost twice as much as PC/ABS

Our new, patented silicone additive solves all these issues. It delivers excellent anti-squeak performance at cost-effective low loadings. Because the masterbatch is incorporated during compounding or molding, there is also no need for post-treatment steps that slow down production.

Join Vincent Rerat, senior technical service & development engineer for Dow Performance Silicones, on May 23, 2018 at 3:00 p.m. Central European Time for a discussion on this silicone additive.
