What is a Filler Polymer Compound?

Filler polymer compounds are compositions that utilize mineral materials such as Calcium carbonate, talc, silica, or barium sulfate to improve physical and mechanical properties. These additives can enhance the strength, stiffness, thermal resistance, and even electrical properties of the polymer. We widely use filler polymers in packaging, electrical components, and household appliances. Below, we will discuss the main features of this product:

Features of Filler Polymer Compounds

Filler masterbatches can inherently possess various features and properties that can vary according to the manufacturers’ needs, but the main feature is the reduction of costs and the completion of the production process, where producers use them as complements alongside the main materials. However, for filler compounds, this situation can differ because this material is a part of the main materials now, and the properties of this material can vary. Below, we will discuss some of the notable features of this material:

Improvement of mechanical and thermal properties: This material is a suitable insulator against hard impacts and high temperatures and it doesn’t get damaged.

Reduction of production costs: Similar to filler masterbatches, its compound is a suitable supplement for raw materials, thus requiring less material.

Increased abrasion resistance: This product is a suitable option to prevent continuous friction and wear.

Applications of Filler Polymer Compounds

Electronic components: We use this material in the production of housings and electronic boards to prevent product wear due to the heat generated in devices.

Household appliances: We use filler compounds in the production of the house appliances such as washing machines and refrigerators to ensure resistance against impacts and surface scratches.

Industrial packaging: Plastic manufacturers use it to produce high-strength and cost-effective packaging containers.
