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
