1 of 8 products in this brand
GENIOPLAST® Pellet P Plus is a pelletized silicone gum formulation that contains an exceptionally high loading of ultrahigh molecular weight (UHMW) siloxane polymer. It is primarily used as a plastic additive. Unlike other formulations, GENIOPLAST® Pellet P Plus does not include a thermoplastic resin as a carrier. Instead, it incorporates a quantity of fumed silica.

Application Details
  • GENIOPLAST® PELLET P PLUS is an additive specifically designed for the compounding and masterbatch industry. Suitable equipment for compounding comprises twin-screw extruder, co-kneader, and batch-mixer.
  • Because of its high thermal stability, GENIOPLAST® PELLET P PLUS can be applied over a wide temperature range, up to 300 °C (570 °F). Compounding and subsequent processing conditions are determined by the thermoplastic resin GENIOPLAST® PELLET P PLUS is added to.
  • For the compounding process, GENIOPLAST® PELLET P PLUS can be added at the feeding zone of the extruder either as pre-mix together with the resin polymer pellets or via separate feeding unit; it can also be added via side-feeder. It is recommended to avoid pressure when feeding GENIOPLAST® PELLET P PLUS which may result in deformation of the pellets.

Additive for:

  • Polyolefin compounds
  • Engineering plastics compounds
  • TPE compounds

Physical Form
Properties

GENIOPLAST® PELLET P PLUS does not contain any thermoplastic resin as a carrier but some quantity of fumed silica instead. Fumed silica as a constituent of the pelletized formulation does not show any adverse effect in the application when used as a compounding additive in thermoplastic systems to impart benefits such as processing improvements and
modification of surface characteristics.
