GENIOPLAST^®

GENIOPLAST^® Pellets consist of a combination of high-viscosity silicone gum and a specially tailored silica. Their specific chemical structure renders them compatible with all thermoplastics and one single silicone additive can enhance a huge variety of compounds. Thus, key mechanical properties such as elongation at break and impact strength (especially in mineral-filled compounds) are greatly enhanced, while other important mechanical properties such as hardness, heat resistance and tensile strength are unaffected.

Benefits:

• Prevention of die drool
• Reduced nozzle pressure and torque
• Improved melt flow and optimized costs due to enhanced the process.
• Increased scratch and abrasion resistance
• Reduction in coefficient of friction
• Improved tactile properties
• Suitable for food contact (GENIOPLAST^® Pellet P Plus)

Applications

• Modification of plastics
• Applications involving food contact

Industries

• Plastics industry
• Compounders, masterbatch producers

Benefits

• Faster, more economical production: The silicone content boosts throughput, speeds up production and lowers the energy requirement by reducing internal and external friction. Formulation costs sink too: these effects require just 1 - 2 % GENIOPLAST® Additive instead of the usual 2 – 6 % wax or stearate.
• Higher-quality end product: Improved modulus of elasticity and flexural strength combined with reduced water absorption.

Applications

• Masterbatch for polypropylene (PP) - GENIOPLAST® PP 20A08

Industries

• Plastics industry
• Compounders
