Dow Corning® Siloxane Masterbatch Additives
can benefit production of plastic materials and improve the performance of finished components.
In the Extruder and Mold
• Improved processing and flow
• Better mold-filling
• Mold release
• Reduced extruder torque
• Faster throughput
• Internal lubrication
• Improved dispersion of fillers
• Reduced energy demand
In the Finished Component
• Scratch resistance, particularly for talc-filled polyolefin compounds
• Improved surface properties (lubricity, slip, lower coefficient of friction, silky feeling)
• Greater abrasion and mar resistance
• Reduced warping of molded components
• Other benefits, depending on formulation
