    Features & Benefits

    Product Highlights

    Javachem®GM wear-resistant additive can also improve the processing fluidity of the material, promote the dispersion of fillers, enhance the dimensional stability of the foam cells, and improve the flexural resistance of the material, while has no influence on hardness and density. It can be widely used in running shoes, basketball shoes and various professional sports shoes.

    Applications & Uses

    Plastics & Elastomers End Uses
    Application
    • Excellent elastic resilience for improved wear resistance and reduced wear and tear of the material.
    • No easing of migration and exudation for long-lasting wear resistance and no influence on yellowing resistance
    • Improved tear and bending resistance, excellent anti-slip performance.
    • Addition reduced by more than 1% compared to ordinary silicone to achieve the same wear resistant effect

    Technical Details & Test Data

    Resistance

    Wear resistance test

    Javachem® GM - Resistance

    With the addition of Javachem®GM, the remaining thickness and surface roughness of the material will be more obvious, demonstrating a superb wear resistance.

    Comparison of DIN wear test

    Javachem® GM - Resistance - 1

    Javachem®GM obviously reduces wear and tear of the material at 1% addition, following by an approximate decrease of 20 mm3 for every increase of 1%

    Slip resistance test (static friction coefficient)

    Javachem® GM - Resistance - 2

    Javachem®GM does not reduce the dry and wet friction coefficient while remaining excellent slip resistance of materials.
