Why are BOPET and BOPP Masterbatches popular in the packaging industry?

The demand for attractive packaging is constantly rising in the food and other industries. The package materials must possess high tensile strength with beautiful color and glossy surface to appeal to consumers. All these features are an integral part of package applications.

Uses of masterbatches in the plastics industry

Raw polymers undergo numerous manufacturing processes before getting the desired properties and features. Color masterbatches and additives are added with the base polymer to improve qualities and color in the plastics.

As the quality of MBs and additives increase, the outcome will be superior quality plastics with enhanced properties. For instance, the TPU masterbatch enhances the mechanical properties of the polyester sheet while manufacturing in the plant. It is useful to increase tensile strength, abrasion resistance and functions of the end product.

Top MBs and additives in the packaging industry

BOPP Masterbatch

BOPP stands for biaxially-oriented polypropylene which is a variant of PP. PP is the world’s second most produced synthetic plastic. It is a thermoplastic polymer, used in printing surface, labels, stickers, textiles, and in a host of industrial applications.

With the use of a BOPP masterbatch, it becomes incredibly useful with the addition of performance characteristics and economic value. That is why it is used for making the following items in the industries -

• Packaging labels.
• Food containers.
• Plastic ropes.
• Laboratory items.
• Textile items.

BOPET Masterbatch

BOPP is a clear, flexible, transparent or translucent substance made from a PET polymer. It is a linear thermoplastic polyester resin with the ability to offer the high-performance plastic film for industrial applications. Some of the excellent properties of BOPET are high tensile strength, durability, heat resistance, dimensional stability, non-reactive to chemicals, and others. The BOPET films are available in thin and thick variation to use in different applications.

With the use of a BOPET masterbatch, properties get enhanced to use in packaging, electrical and other industrial applications. The loading of the masterbatch is decided based on the printing and packaging essentials in the end product.

Thus, it is essential to select MBs and additives from a reliable manufacturer. Only a reputable polymer manufacturer can offer desired products to use in various processes.
