- Benefits
(1) Improve processing properties including better flow ability , reduced extrusion die drool , less extruder torque , better molding filling & release
(2) Improve surface quality like surface slip, lower Coefficient of friction
(3) Greater abrasion & scratch resistance
(4) Faster throughput , reduce product defect rate.
(5) Enhance stability compare with traditional processing aid or lubricants
(6) Slightly increase LOI and reduce heat release rate , smoke ,and carbon monoxide evolution

- Typical Applications
For cable compounds, obvious improve processing properties and surface finish .
For PVCfilm/sheet to improve surface smooth and processing properties.
For PVC shoe’s sole , improve abrasion resistance .
For PVC,PA, PC, PPS high temperature engineering plastics, can improve the flow of the resin and processing properties, promote the crystallization of PA, improve the surface smoothness and impact strength.
- How to Use
SILIKE silicone powder can be used in classical melt blending process like Single /Twin screw extruder, injection molding. A physical blend with virgin polymer pellets is recommended . For better test result, Strongly suggest to pre-blend Silicone powder and thermoplastic pellets prior to introduction to extrusion process.
- Recommend Dosage
When added to polyethylene or similar thermoplastic at 0.2 to 1% , improved processing and flow of the resin is expected, including better mold filling, less extruder torque, internal lubricants, mold release and faster throughput; At a higher addition level , 2~5%, improved surface properties are expected, including lubricity , slip, lower coefficient of friction and greater mar/scratch and abrasion resistance
- Shell Life
Original characteristics remain intact for 24 months from the production date , if kept in recommend storage.
