Application Details
  • Polypropylene based compounds for dashboards, door trim and trunk trim panels, pillar trim, and center consoles. GENIOPLAST® PP50S12 MG is a compounding additive. Compounding is required to achieve the proper rheology for the migration of the silicone constituent to the surface during the melt phase.
  • After processing and when the part has cooled, the ultra-high molecular weight silicone constituent is fixed inside the PP compound and at the surface, assuring stable performance over time. GENIOPLAST® PP50S12 MG is compatible with all PP grades (homopolymer or copolymer), pigments, as well as mineral fillers such as talc or calcium carbonate.

Properties
  • In a typical PP compound formulation for automotive interior parts (PP copolymer, 20 % talc, impact modified, UV stabilized, black) GENIOPLAST® PP50S12 MG is used at a loading between 1 and 3 %. Main benefits for polypropylene applications in automotive comprise improvement of scratch and mar performance, reduction of coefficient of friction, improvement of surface aspects (soft touch, not sticky, not blooming). GENIOPLAST® PP50S12 MG is odorless and not contributing to fogging.
  • In contrary to amides and other fatty acids used in the past, GENIOPLAST® PP50S12 MG does not migrate and bloom outside the interior part and therefore not contribute to fogging and to stickiness. At the recommended use levels (1 - 3 %), GENIOPLAST® PP50S12 MG does not negatively impact the thermo-mechanical properties of the compounds it is added to.
