Black Masterbatch Benefits And Uses

Masterbatch is liquid of solid additive for plastic that is used for coloring or imparting different properties to plastic. It is a concentrated mixture of additives and pigments that are encapsulated in the heat process to carrier resin that is then cooled and then cut into granular shapes. Processors use masterbatch to economically color raw polymer in the plastic manufacturing process.

Masterbatch is preferred by many because it is less expensive compared to buying a material that is fully compounded. Such a material is not only expensive, but can also be less open to product color variability. The concentrates are also preferred over compounding raw materials on site because they do not have dispersion issues of additives and colorants as it is the case with the compounding process. They might require longer lead times and more storage space, but masterbatches are still advantageous in more ways than one. They offer excellent coverage power and dispersion so they are able to meet requirements for various end user applications and resins. Below are some of the benefits black masterbatch offers to final products.

· Excellent mechanical properties offering better tear and impact resistance and balance stiffness

· Excellent dyeing power

· Enhances appropriate stretching

· Suitable and compliant even for food packaging

· When combined with latest additives, black masterbatch offers thermal stability, UV radiation protection, electrical conductivity, bactericidal effects and flame propagation resistance, heat dissipation and thermal conductivity
