Improve Compatibility and Enhance Flowability of Fillers

When substrates are subjected to harsh environmental conditions for a prolonged period, they can become damaged, and performance can suffer.

Dow Corning® brand Plastic and Composite Additives can make your substrates longer lasting, more durable, and able to withstand tough environments.

Our high-performance materials can help to:

• Reduce the amount of filler, making it more effective, or increase the amount of filler, thereby reducing agglomerates (weak points) and cost
• Improve durability by enhancing water resistance and reinforced properties
• Maintain the appearance of substrates against water and UV damage
• Improve compatibility in resins, plastics and rubber compounds
• Impart hydrophobicity to inorganic fillers and surfaces
• Make inorganic powders free-flowing and easy to disperse

With organic biofillers such as wood flour, Dow Corning® brand Plastic and Composite Additives can improve filler dispersion and coupling, and reinforce performance as they:

• Reduce water absorption
• Give dimensional stability to molded plastics
• Increase mechanical strength and impact resistance

Use Dow Corning® brand Plastic and Composite Additives to realize these advantages in your existing materials, and, with our support, create customized materials with the specific performance attributes you need.
