    How to Use

    SILIKE LYSI series silicone masterbatch may be processed in the same way as the resin carrier on which they based. It can be used in classical melt blending process like Single /Twin screw extruder, injection molding. A physical blend with virgin polymer pellets is recommended .

    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
