DuPont MULTIBASE™ BY27-219 Masterbatch is a pelletized formulation containing 60% of an ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) siloxane polymer.
It is designed to be used as additive in polyacetal and ethylene methylene methacrylate (EMMA) compatible systems to impart benefits such as processing improvements and modification of surface characteristics. Liquid siloxane plastic additives have been used for several years to improve the lubricity and flow of thermoplastics. They are effective in this role, although until now some difficulties have been experienced in the incorporation of liquids into thermoplastic melts without use of specialized equipment. It has also been difficult to produce masterbatches with greater than 20% liquid siloxane because of processing difficulty and bleed problems.
The DuPont MULTIBASE™ MB Series Masterbatches address these problems by supplying a high concentration of an ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) siloxane as dispersion in a dry pellet form in a variety of thermoplastics.
APPLICATIONS
Additive in polyacetal and ethylene methylene methacrylate (EMMA) compatible systems.
BENEFITS
The DuPont MB Series Masterbatches are expected to give improved benefits compared to conventional lower molecular weight siloxane additives, e.g., less screw slippage, improved release, a lower coefficient of friction, fewer paint and printing problems, and a broader range of performance capabilities.
