In the modern industrial system, cable as a key carrier of power transmission and information transmission, its quality is directly related to the stable operation of various fields. The cable material, as the core raw material of cable manufacturing, its performance and processing quality play a decisive role.
Cable material is used to manufacture wire and cable polymer material, mainly divided into plastic and rubber two categories. Plastic cable materials such as polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), etc., have good insulation, corrosion resistance and processing properties; Rubber cable materials such as natural rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, etc., are known for their high elasticity, weather resistance and flexibility. These materials are widely used in power, communication, construction, automotive and many other fields, from daily household electricity to complex industrial control systems, from high-speed network communication to the electrical system of new energy vehicles, cable materials are everywhere, supporting the normal operation of modern society.
However, in the actual processing process, the cable material often appears rough surface and shark skin phenomenon, which not only seriously affects the appearance quality of the cable, but also may cause the electrical performance of the cable to decline due to surface defects, such as reduced insulation performance, signal transmission instability, etc., and then pose a threat to the safety and reliability of the entire system.
Why will the surface roughness and shark skin appear in the processing of the cable material?
Uneven dispersion of fillers and improper use of additives will result in uneven material surfaces, especially under the situation of high filling materials system. At the same time, inappropriate processing temperature, pressure or speed may cause the material to flow unevenly during processing, resulting in the formation of rough surfaces.
How to solve the situation of rough surface of cable material, pre-crosslinking and uneven dispersion of filler?
SILIKE SILICONE MASTERBATCH LYSI 401 is a special processing additive for cable materials. Its effective ingredient is ultra-high molecular weight polysiloxane, which can significantly improve the processing fluidity of cable materials, promote the dispersion of filler, improve the shark skin phenomenon, and also improve the properties of wear resistance, scratch resistance and the cable surface quality.
SILIKE Silicone Processing Aids For Wire&Cables compounds has a wide range of applications, they are widely used in LSZH/HFFR wire and cable compounds, silane crossing linking XLPE compounds, TPE wire, Low smoke & low COF PVC compounds. Making wire and cable products eco-friendly, safer, and stronger for better end-use performance.
As a high performance processing aid, SILIKE Silicone Masterbatch has a remarkable effect on improving the surface quality of cable material. Silicone masterbatch has the following advantages:
Excellent lubrication properties: SILIKE Silicone Masterbatch for Wire&Cables compounds can significantly reduce the surface tension of the cable material, making it smoother during the extrusion process, reducing the appearance of surface roughness and shark skin phenomenon.
Improve processing stability: SILIKE Silicone masterbatch LYSI-401 can improve the flow of cable material, making the distribution of cable material in the extruder more uniform, thereby improving the stability of the processing process.
Enhanced product performance: After adding silicone masterbatch LYSI-401, the surface quality of the cable material is significantly improved, which not only improves the appearance quality of the cable, but also enhances the surface wear resistance and scratch resistance of the cable material.
In short, the phenomenon of rough surface and shark skin in the processing of cable materials is the result of a variety of factors. As an effective additive, silicone masterbatch can provide strong support for the development of the cable industry by improving the processing performance and surface quality of the cable material.
