PEarlene silicone containing masterbatches offer improved processability (extrusion rate, mold fill and energy consumption) and performance (mar and scratch resistance and impact resistance) when used to compound or extrude certain plastics, copolymers or elastomeric formulations.

With a typical product usage range of 0.2% to 1.6%, PEarleneSiPC MB01 silicone master batches modify the rheological characteristics of resins and compounds. This process can enable an increase of throughput within fabrication processes as well as a reduction in drive torque and machine head pressure.

PEarlene SiPC MB01 silicone can also improve lubricity of fabricated parts as well as mar and impact resistance, which can lead to cost savings via a reduction in scrap.In PET fiberboards for under-the-body applications, PEarlene SiPC MB01 improves mud and ice build up due to ehnaced hydrophlicity and may be a more sustainable alternative for harmful fluoro additives.
