In the production of wires and cables, automotive seals, and various industrial extruded silicone tube profiles, the surface quality of the product is crucial. Blooming not only affects the appearance, but may even be regarded as a quality defect. TY-3002 silicone anti-frost agent, as an additive designed specifically to meet such challenges, is becoming the preferred solution for many extruded silicone product manufacturers.
Blooming Challenges Faced by Extruded Silicone Products
Extrusion processes, especially continuous hot air vulcanization, provide conditions for the formation of blooming. For:
Wires and cables: Blooming of the insulation or sheath will affect the appearance and even raise concerns about the stability of its electrical performance. Color uniformity is also an important indicator.
Automotive/construction seals: Whitening of the surface seriously affects the appearance after assembly and may lead to customer complaints or rejection.
Other extruded pipes/profiles: Whether for industrial or daily use, a smooth and clean surface is a basic requirement.
TY-3002 is the key to solving these industry pain points.
TY-3002: Ideal material for silicone extrusion production line
TY-3002 anti-frost agent is known as the best matching material for extruded silicone products such as wires, cables, and sealing strips. Its advantages are reflected in:
Precise solution to frosting: Effectively prevents white precipitation on the surface caused by hot air vulcanization, ensuring smooth surface and uniform color of extruded products.
Adapt to extrusion process: Easy to add and disperse in continuous or batch mixing, well matched with the rhythm of the extrusion production line. Low addition amount (0.2-0.3%) has little effect on the fluidity of the extruded material.
Improve the overall performance of the product: In addition to anti-frost, TY-3002 can also improve the cross-linking effect of silicone, which is especially important for products such as sealing strips and cable sheaths that require durability and resilience.
Meet industry standards
ROHS compliance: It is a basic requirement for the electronic and electrical industry (wires and cables).
EN-71 compliance: It is suitable for extruded products that may contact the skin or children’s toys.
Can be used for FDA/LFGB products: It expands the possibility of high-end extrusion applications such as food processing equipment sealing and drinking water pipelines (to be verified).
Application Case Sharing
Imagine a company that produces colored automotive door and window seals, which has long been troubled by the problem of slight whitening on the surface of some dark-colored products. After the introduction of TY-3002, only 0.25% of the product needs to be added, and the frosting phenomenon completely disappears, the consistency of product appearance is greatly improved, and customer satisfaction is significantly improved. At the same time, due to the slight improvement in the cross-linking effect, the weather resistance and service life of the product are also enhanced.
in conclusion
For manufacturers pursuing high-quality extruded silicone products, choosing the right additive is crucial. TY-3002 silicone anti-frost agent can not only effectively solve the common frost spraying problem of products such as wires and cables, sealing strips, but also help companies optimize production, enhance product competitiveness, and meet increasingly stringent market requirements with its low addition amount, ease of use, performance improvement, and wide compliance. Choose TY-3002 to protect your extruded silicone products.
