This invention relates to the field of
materials processing technology, and discloses a
processing aid for wood-plastic composites and its preparation method, to solve the problems of
lubrication and
extrusion in the
processing of high
wood flour content. The aforementioned
processing aid, by weight, comprises 5-95 parts modified polysiloxane, 5-95 parts
hydrocarbon wax, 5-95 parts
fatty acid, 5-95 parts
carboxylic acid ester, 5-95 parts fatty
amide, 5-95 parts
fatty alcohol, 5-95 parts
metal soap, and 1-5 parts other additives. The
processing aid of this application is applied to the processing and
extrusion of wood-plastic composites, utilizing the complementary advantages of the
lubrication effect of
small molecule lubricants and the excellent properties of modified polysiloxane to prepare a composite
lubricant. Simultaneously, the structural
advantage of the polar groups in the polysiloxane has a
coating effect on
wood flour particles that have adsorbed other polar small molecules, while the long-chain
alkyl portion achieves good compatibility with the
polyolefin resin through entanglement, preventing the
precipitation of other polar small molecules. The composite
lubricant offers high cost-effectiveness and excellent processing
lubrication and defect-free product
extrusion appearance.
