Product type
Masterbatches are concentrated mixtures of pigments and additives encapsulated in a carrier resin, used to color or enhance the properties of plastics. They are typically produced in pellet form, allowing for easy incorporation into the plastic manufacturing process. By using masterbatches, manufacturers can achieve consistent coloration and performance in their plastic products without the need for complex mixing processes.
| Carrier resin | Polyethylene, polypropylene, or polystyrene |
| Pigment concentration | 10% to 70% by weight |
| Form | Pellets or granules |
| Color range | Custom colors available |
| Additive types | UV stabilizers, antioxidants, flame retardants |
| Processing temperature | 180°C to 250°C |
When selecting masterbatches, consider the specific color and additive requirements for your application. It's important to specify the type of carrier resin compatible with your processing method, as well as the desired pigment concentration. Certifications for food safety or environmental compliance may also be relevant depending on the end use. Quantities can vary based on production needs, so be prepared to discuss your expected usage with suppliers.
