This article looks at the impact of a modifying addition of liquid polyorganosiloxane containing extended alkyl lateral substituents (PENTA-1006) as process lubricant in chalk-filled PVC composites. Demonstrates that this is a good universal process lubricant which improves the conditions for and reduces the energy input into processes of mixing and extrusion of rigid, chalk-filled PVC composites. The strength of the composites is not lessened by this and their material deformation characteristics are significantly improved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
