An Introduction to Mono Colour Concentrates

Plastics have become an essential part of our lives. Everything around us, from agricultural, healthcare, packaging, household item, electronic to medical industry accessories, have plastics in some forms. Products made from plastics are popular because they are lightweight, strong, mouldable, and cheap with a high aesthetic value.

Roles of masterbatches in Polymer Industry

Masterbatches are playing a crucial role in the revolution of the polymer industry. Varieties of masterbatches are being used in the manufacturing plant to impart desired color and change properties of the end products. Additives can alter the functional, technical, and physical properties of plastic products as needed in the market. In other words, masterbatches are used to increase strength, durability, aesthetic value, enhance gloss, resistant to weather, and other purposes as per the requirement of clients.

Did you know there are hundreds of masterbatches with thousands of colors options? Here we will be discussing the mono color concentrates with their uses in the industry:

Mono Colour Concentrates

Mono color concentrates are a high concentration of inorganic and organic pigments (usually 50-70% of inorganic and 30-50% of organic pigments).  Made in the form of pellets to provide excellent dispersion quality with advanced technology and methods. Besides increasing the color strength in the plastic products, they have many applications in the fibers for textiles, carpets, and upholstery industry.

Significance of mono color concentrates

The powdered pigments are consisting of aggregates and agglomerates that are difficult to break down further into the primary particles in the milling process. This obstacle has been seen, especially, in the Phthalocyanine Blue, Phthalocyanine Green, Red, Yellow, and other pigments. The cluster of the pigments creates poor dispersion in blown films, thin injection, moulded parts, and so on. The use of single pigment concentrates helps overcome that problem as the dye gives an excellent dispersion in the final applications. It acts as additive and dispersant to disperse to the finest possible particle size in coloring polythene blow film and polypropylene moulded products.

Here are some reasons to use this masterbatch:
  • They are 100% dust free reducing cleaning cost and material wastage.
  • They have high color strength decreasing coloring cost to a minimum.
  • Known for excellent dispersion and reduces screen plugging in comparison to other pigments.
  • Mono colour concentrates reduce your energy consumption.
