How can masterbatch influence plastics manufacturing?

Did you know a raw polymer undergoes numerous processes before coming to the market?

A raw polymer is processed in various conditions to give the desired characteristics in the end product. The properties like thermal stability, tensile strength, colours, and others come during the manufacturing processes.

Apart from that, modern plastics are a result of quality masterbatches and additives used in manufacturing at plants.

A masterbatch is a solid or liquid substance used to impart colour and functionalities to the yielded product. The colour masterbatch offers economical dyeing to the end product while additives help in improving qualities and characteristics.

So, a masterbatch consists of filler material, carrier and base polymer. The MB is utilized to create superior quality plastics with desired functionalities.

Mono-color concentrates

Earlier, the traditional dyes and pigments were used to treat the plastic for colouring. The whole process required more pigment which often creates loss to a business. However, with the development of mono-colour concentrates, colouring has become cost-effective for any company.

That has become the best alternative to a conventional pigment to colour the plastic. Due to the presence of high pigment loading of inorganic and organic dye, plastics achieve brightness with a low dosage level. Further, the colour fastness and dispersibility are excellent in the plastic industry.

Wax base pigment dispersions PVC

Some of the masterbatches help in increasing the production of quality plastics. Apart from improving functionalities, the MB offers assistance in the manufacturing process. One of such MB is the wax base pigment dispersion PVC in manufacturing PET and polycarbonate bottles in the industry. This is done to avoid dispersion issues which arise while producing a large container at the plant.

Silicone masterbatch

At present, silicone masterbatch has been the prime source of lubricant in the plastic industry. Earlier, conventional oils were used in the production of polymer. But, this had created a lot of problems in manufacturing like heating and temperature.

The new silicone masterbatch has resolved these issues. It is migration-stable with the high-molecular polymer. And, it is work with a base polymer like PP, PE, PA, and so on.
