Why has Silicone Masterbatch revolutionized printing and packaging industry?

Hundreds of plastics are used for different purposes, and they are increasing at a rapid rate nowadays. The versatile nature of plastic leads to its usages in diverse industries from printing, packaging, agricultural, and other sectors. The list goes on and on influencing every part of our modern lifestyle.

Plastics are known for their durability, reliability, glossy surface, and properties. But, did you know these properties come in plastic due to the use of masterbatches and additives with the raw polymer in the manufacturing process? 

The colouring agents like mono-colour concentrates are economic offering maximum dye to a product on a low dosage level. The masterbatch increases the profit of a company utilizing them instead of the traditional colours.

Use of Silicone masterbatch in the packaging and printing industry

The packaging products must have a glossy surface and appeal to the audience. Without an attractive printing, difficulties will come in increasing sale of a product.

However, a raw polymer undergoes many processes before reaching to the audience. Printing on plastic is not free from hurdles and complications. Migration of colouring agents, high temperature, and low dispersion of colour create problem in the printing.

It is where a silicone masterbatch may come handy to a manufacturer. It is a more efficient slipping agent than traditional oil used in the printing industry. It is why more companies are utilizing this masterbatch instead of conventional oil now.

Use of Wax base pigment dispersion PVC

Traditionally colour concentrates were used to colour the PVC which are in liquid or wax dispersion. Many difficulties arise in manufacturing with a change of physical properties of the end products. With the use of new technology, the wax base pigment dispersion PVC has limited these problems and help in finding superior products. No problem in inherent compatibility and homogenization problems arise with the yielded products.
