Anti-scratch Silicone Masterbatch, efficient solutions to improve wear resistance of TPE automotive foot mats

In recent years, with the rapid growth of the automotive industry, TPE materials have gradually formed an automobile-centred application market.TPE materials are used in a large number of automotive body, interior and exterior trim, structural components and special applications. Among them, in the automotive interior parts, TPE materials with a comfortable touch, safe and environmentally friendly odourless, lightweight vibration-absorbing and other performance characteristics, has a broad application prospects in the interior parts, but also one of the key development directions in the future.

There are mainly the following types of car foot mats on the market today:

1. (PVC) leather foot mats: this foot mat because the surface of the leather, a not small will make it scratched, long time load will wear skin, affecting the beauty.

2. PVC silk circle foot mat: PVC silk circle foot mat is cheap, but the foot mat will have a pungent smell for a long time sun exposure, and cleaning up more trouble.

It is worth mentioning: PVC material itself is non-toxic, its added plasticisers, antioxidants and other major auxiliary materials have a certain degree of toxicity, if the production process is not up to standard, at high temperatures are prone to decomposition of hydrogen chloride and other harmful substances. In Europe and the United States has banned some PVC products, PVC car mats are also gradually being abandoned by foreign car owners, and instead choose to use safer and healthier TPE material mats.

3. TPE foot mats: TPE has become the preferred material for high-end products in Europe and the United States, such as luxury car interiors, golf handles, bags and luxury products, and is also suitable for medical equipment, baby products and other fields, such as baby crawling mats, pacifiers, toothbrushes and so on.

Advantages of TPE car foot mats:

1. TPE material is safe and environmentally friendly, high resilience, comfortable foot feeling

TPE material used in car mats, environmental protection and no odour, children and pregnant women can also ride at ease.

2. TPE material processing is simple

TPE foot mats manufacturing process is different from most foot mats, TPE foot mats need industrial moulds for one-piece moulding. Through the large injection moulding machine, the whole automated assembly line, and the accuracy and fit of TPE foot mats is higher.

3. Safety buckle design

Driving is important for safety, most of the vehicles in the factory designed chassis buckle, so one-piece injection moulding TPE foot mats also have corresponding buckle design, can match different models of different sizes. When the foot mats and chassis buckle connected together to ensure that the foot mats are not displaced, can protect driving safety.

TPE is a thermoplastic elastomer with both rubber and plastic properties. It has excellent elasticity and processability, and excellent abrasion resistance and aging resistance. Therefore, TPE car foot mat sheet has become one of the indispensable parts in the automotive industry with its excellent characteristics.

But because passengers often in and out of the car, will cause wear and deformation of the car foot mat sheet, so many TPE car foot mat sheet manufacturers are looking for ways to improve the wear resistance of the TPE, there are many ways to improve the wear resistance of the TPE, such as compounding the appropriate amount of silicone masterbatch, as a processing aids, silicone masterbatch can improve the fluidity of the TPE in the molten state, to improve the dispersion of filler, reduce energy consumption, and improve the surface smoothness of the product. It can also improve the surface smoothness and scratch-resistant performance of the products.

SILIKE Anti-scratch Silicone Masterbatch LYSI-306 [https://www.siliketech.com/silicone-masterbatch-lysi-306-3-product/], Efficient solutions to improve wear resistance of TPE automotive foot mats

SILIKE Silicone Masterbatch (Anti-scratch masterbatch) LYSI-306 is a pelletized formulation with 50% ultra high molecular weight siloxane polymer dispersed in Polypropylene (PP). It helps improve long-lasting anti-scratch properties of automotive interiors , by offering improvements in many aspects like Quality, Aging , Hand feel, Reduced dust buildup... etc.

Compare to conventional lower molecular weight Silicone / Siloxane additives, Amide or other type scratch additives, SILIKE Anti-scratch Masterbatch LYSI-306 is expected to give a much better scratch resistance, meet PV3952 & GMW14688 standards. Suitable for variety of Automotive interior surface , such as : Door panels, Dashboards, Center Consoles, instrument panels...

SILIKE LYSI series silicone masterbatch can be used in classical melt blending process like Single /Twin screw extruder, injection molding. A physical blend with virgin polymer pellets is recommended.

When added to TPE or similar thermoplastic at 0.2 to 1% , improved processing and flow of the resin is expected, including better mold filling, less extruder torque, internal lubricants, mold release and faster throughput; At a higher addition level , 2~5%, improved surface properties are expected, including lubricity , slip, lower coefficient of friction and greater mar/scratch and abrasion resistance.

Typical performance of SILIKE Anti-scratch Silicone Masterbatch LYSI-306

(1) Improves the anti-scratch properties of TPE,TPV PP,PP/PPO Talc filled systems.

(2) Operates as a permanent slip enhancer

(3) No migration
