Silicones are commonly used to formulate release agent for Rubber, Plastic (thermoplastic and thermosetting) and Metal Die Casting.
Functional silicones find application as pigment and fillers dispersing aid in compound for plastic, and as polymer modifiers to improve physical and mechanical properties to plastic polymers.
Beside their release properties, Silicone Emulsion is also suitable to bring slip, gloss and silky feel finishing to rubber goods.
BRB Silanil® 276 (vinyltrimethoxysilane) works as a crosslinker for polyethylene, delivering better heat and weather resistance to polyethylene based wire and cable jacket, pipe and foam, in comparison to other crosslinkers.
BRB Silicone based antifoams are suitable to prevent foam in metal working lubricants formulation.
