Riviera Polymers Private Limited was envisaged in 1982. The organization had to become a mark to reckon with in the manufacture of Colour and Additive Concentrates and Special Thermoplastic Compounds. Two decades on, we are living as Brand Riviera and remain the front-runner manufacturer of high-quality Masterbatches and Specialty Thermoplastic Compounds in India.

Silicone Masterbatch: Enhancing Processability and Surface Quality in Plastics
Modern plastic manufacturing often involves complex processing conditions—high-speed extrusion, injection molding, or blow molding—where friction, melt instability, and poor surface finish can affect productivity and product quality.
Silicone Masterbatch provides a smart, efficient, and permanent solution. It enhances lubricity, process stability, surface aesthetics, and even mechanical properties—making it a must-have additive across diverse polymer applications.
What is Silicone Masterbatch?
Silicone Masterbatch is a high-performance additive concentrate that contains ultra-high or high molecular weight silicone (typically polydimethylsiloxane – PDMS) dispersed in a thermoplastic carrier resin like PE, PP, EVA, or universal carrier.
It is used to:
- Improve polymer flow
- Reduce surface friction
- Enhance mold release
- Improve gloss, softness, and slip
Minimize die build-up and gel formation
How Does It Work?
Silicone molecules migrate slowly to the surface or stay within the polymer matrix, depending on the formulation. They:
- Form a low-friction surface film that reduces coefficient of friction (COF)
- Act as internal lubricants to improve polymer melt flow
- Improve demolding, extrusion stability, and reduce wear on tools
Unlike conventional lubricants, silicone additives do not leach, bloom excessively, or compromise clarity or color when correctly formulated.
Formulation & Usage
- Typical Dosage: 0.5% to 3% (can go up to 5% for high-slip requirements)
- Carrier Resins: PE, PP, EVA, universal
- Available Types:
- High Molecular Weight Silicone Masterbatch (for permanent modification)
- Low MW grades (for fast migration and short-term applications)
- Combination Additives (Silicone + Anti-block, Silicone + UV, etc.)
Packaging & Storage
- Supplied in 25 kg moisture-proof laminated bags
- Storage: Cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight
- Shelf Life: Up to 12 months in sealed condition

Frequently Asked Questions
Our FAQ section provides clear answers to common questions about white masterbatches, from product features to application details. We aim to help you understand how our solutions can improve your plastic products. If you have further inquiries, our team is always ready to assist you.
What is the main function of silicone masterbatch?
To reduce friction, improve processing, and enhance surface aesthetics in plastics.
Which polymers are compatible?
PE, PP, EVA, PA, PS, ABS, PC, TPE, and many more.
Does it affect transparency?
No, certain grades are optimized for clear or translucent products.
Is it food contact safe?
Yes, FDA- and EU-compliant food-grade versions are available.
Can it be used in recycling?
Yes, it enhances processing and finish even in recycled polymers.
Will it bloom or migrate?
High MW silicone masterbatch is designed for minimal or controlled migration.
Is it better than traditional lubricants like waxes?
Yes, it provides long-lasting performance and better compatibility.
Can I use it with color masterbatch?
Yes, it is fully compatible with pigment or filler masterbatches.
Does it help with anti-blocking?
Yes, it reduces adhesion between plastic layers or surfaces.
Can I use it in stretch film or shrink film?
Yes, especially when you need high slip and clarity.
Is it suitable for textile extrusion?
Yes, it enhances softness and tactile properties.
Does it affect bonding or printing?
Slightly—pre-testing is advised when overprinting or overlaminating is required.
What’s the difference between high and low MW silicone?
High MW provides permanent internal slip; low MW offers fast surface migration.
Is it weather or UV stable?
Yes, and can be combined with UV stabilizers for outdoor applications.
Can it reduce noise in moving parts?
Yes, its lubricating property can help reduce squeak in moving plastic assemblies
Is it suitable for medical devices?
Food- and pharma-grade variants are available on request.
Will it affect mechanical strength?
Not when used within recommended dosages.
Can I use it with flame-retardant or anti-static masterbatch?
Yes, they are often co-formulated depending on the application.
Is it biodegradable or eco-friendly?
It is not biodegradable but improves recyclability by enhancing process flow.
Where can I source silicone masterbatch in India?
From leading brands or on trusted platforms like MasterbatchManufacturers.com.
