Silicone masterbatch: Solutions to improve the efficiency

The cable and wire industry is a cornerstone of modern infrastructure, powering communication, transportation, and energy distribution. With the ever-growing demand for high-performance cables, the industry is constantly seeking innovative solutions to enhance production efficiency and product quality.

The addition of silicone masterbatch, silicone powder is a very common solution. This blog delves into the application of silicone masterbatch in the cable extrusion industry, exploring its benefits, mechanisms of action, and the impact on production efficiency.

Benefits of Silicone [https://www.siliketech.com/silicone-additives/]additives [https://www.siliketech.com/silicone-additives/] in Cable Extrusion

1. Improved Extrusion Efficiency

One of the primary benefits of using silicone masterbatch, silicone powder in cable extrusion is the significant improvement in extrusion efficiency. The silicone content acts as a lubricant, reducing the friction between the extruder barrel and the cable material. This reduction in friction allows for faster extrusion speeds without compromising the quality of the cable. The result is a higher output rate and reduced production time, leading to cost savings and increased productivity.

2. Enhanced Cable Performance

Silicone masterbatch, silicone powder not only improves the extrusion process but also enhances the final cable's performance. The incorporation of silicone into the cable material results in improved flexibility, increased resistance to environmental stress cracking, and better low-temperature performance. These properties are crucial for cables that are exposed to harsh conditions or are used in demanding applications.

3. Reduced Material Waste

The use of silicone masterbatch can lead to a reduction in material waste during the extrusion process. The improved lubrication properties of the masterbatch reduce the likelihood of material sticking to the extruder barrel. By minimizing material waste, the overall production cost is reduced, and the environmental impact of the process is lessened.

4. Consistent Quality

The uniform dispersion of silicone additives in the masterbatch ensures that every batch of cable material has a consistent level of silicone content. This consistency leads to uniform cable properties, which is essential for maintaining the quality and reliability of the final product. Consistent quality is particularly important in industries where cable performance can directly impact safety, such as in the automotive and aerospace sectors.

Application of SILIKE Silicone additives [https://www.siliketech.com/silicone-powder-for-wire-cable/] in Various Cable Types

SILIKE Silicone additives is versatile and can be used in the production of various types of cables, including:

1.Low smoke zero halogen wire and cable compounds

The trend toward halogen-free flame retardants (HFFRs) has placed new processing demands on wire and cable manufacturers. The new compounds are heavily loaded and can create issues with die drool, poor surface quality, and pigment/filler dispersion. Incorporating SILIKE Silicone Masterbatch SC920 significantly improves the material flow, extrusion process, and creates a synergistic effect with flame-retardant fillers.
