Silicon Masterbatch

Silicon Masterbatch is a specialized type of masterbatch that incorporates silicone-based additives into a polymer carrier, typically for use in plastic processing. These masterbatches are used to enhance surface properties, improve processing, and extend product life. Here’s a detailed overview:

Overview of Silicon Masterbatch

Definition:

Definition: Silicon masterbatch is a concentrated mixture of silicone polymer (e.g., polydimethylsiloxane – PDMS) in a thermoplastic resin base. It is added to plastics during processing to impart specific lubricating, release, and anti-scratchproperties.

Key Features & Benefits

Feature	Benefit
Internal Lubrication	Reduces friction during extrusion/injection molding
Improved Flow Properties	Enhances mold filling and cycle times
Anti-blocking	Prevents plastic films from sticking together
Scratch Resistance	Enhances surface durability of molded parts
Low Die Drool & Gels	Cleaner production process
Enhanced Slip Properties	Reduces coefficient of friction (COF) in films
Permanent Effects	Compared to eroding additives like erucamide

Applications

Film Manufacturing: BOPP, LDPE, LLDPE films for packaging
Injection Molding: Automotive parts, consumer electronics
Extrusion: Pipes, profiles, cables
