...
Application Matrix
Plastiblends’ Duct Lubricant Compounds are silicone-based formulations that provide superior and permanent lubrication to plastic surfaces, such as the interior of HDPE ducts for fibre optic communication cables. In injection moulding, these compounds act as internal lubricants, enhancing polymer flow and facilitating easy mould release for intricate parts. This dual functionality ensures smoother processing and improved product quality, making our duct lubricant compounds an essential component for efficient manufacturing and high-performance plastic products.
Key Characteristics
- Chemically inert
- Reduces COF to below 0.06
- Internal lubrication reduces mould sticking in injection moulded
- Facilitates insertion of fibre optic cables inside PE ducts
- Better mould filling and better mould release
- Less warpage of moulded parts
- Increases the output and reduces extruder torque
Applications
- Fibre optic cable duct pipes
- PLB duct pipes
- Internal mould release agents
- Injection moulding
- Blow moulding
