Material is able to fit to variety of aesthetic requirements such as appearance matching (mat, gloss, no-tiger strips and color matching) but also to tactile appreciations (from tacky to dry and from Plastic to skin touch). With our unique technology based on silicone, Multibase offers several resistances: mar, scratch and abrasion resistance. Without modifying the polymer matrix properties, Siloxane Masterbatch eliminates blooming as well as migration of fluids and other organic plastic additives, which can occur when using lower molecular weight silicone materials : These unique masterbatches are typically used : · to improve touch and feel, · to modify the surface of finishing plastic parts for friction management, · to improve mar resistance and wear resistance, · as process aids to increase melt flow for cycle time reduction.
Material perforManCes
Low concentrations (0.1 1.0%) of these Siloxane Masterbatches offer : · increased compounding efficiency, · improved polymer flow and mold filling, · cycle time reduction, lower extruder torque, easier mold release. Concentrations of 1% to 5% Siloxane can provide significantly improved surface properties, including better lubricity, gloss and slip and improved mar and scratch resistance. These masterbatches can meaningfully reduce the coefficient of friction of a polymer without affecting post-finishing operations such as printing, plating and painting.
