Dow Performance Silicones, a global business unit of DowDuPont Specialty Products Division, is launching here at CHINAPLAS 2018 (in DuPont’s stand #7.2D61) DOW CORNING™ HMB-1903 Masterbatch, a unique, new silicone-based additive technology developed to eliminate squeaking in automotive interior components. This new, patented anti-squeak additive immediately and permanently reduces coefficient of friction (COF) in polycarbonate/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (PC/ABS) parts to avoid noise in the vehicle cabin. It can replace time-consuming, labor-intensive post-treatments to improve cost control, design freedom and productivity. As the first in a new product family, DOW CORNING™ HMB-1903 Masterbatch broadens the company’s already extensive portfolio of silicone solutions that extend properties, enhance processing and reinforce materials.
