One of the outstanding features of SI-100 silicone additive is that it contains a high percentage of ultra-high molecular weight siloxane polymer and is supplied without an organic resin carrier. This additive is a strong surface softener for polymers and can increase melt flow and significantly improve the surface quality of manufactured parts. SI-100 reduces friction between the part and the mold surface, creating a smooth, uniform and higher-gloss surface, without affecting the mechanical properties or overall performance of the part. <\/p>\n\n
The use of SI-100 offers several benefits to manufacturers. This additive reduces extruder torque and improves melt flow, thus reducing energy consumption in production. SI-100 also reduces friction between the melt and the mold wall, improving molding performance. The quality of the final surface of the parts is improved with reduced scratches, better gloss and a desirable surface appearance. This additive provides effective performance even at low consumption levels and reduces product defect rates, thereby increasing production efficiency. <\/p>\n\n
The physical and chemical characteristics of SI\u2011100 additive include the following:<\/p>\n\n
SI-100 silicone additive is used in a variety of applications. It is important in masterbatches and compounds where surface slip properties are required. It is also used for polymers used in molding, extrusion or film production processes, improving the surface finish of parts. SI-100 is suitable for parts that are in contact with other surfaces and require reduced surface friction. It is also an ideal choice for compounds where surface quality and final appearance are important. <\/p>\n\n
