4 polymer additives for printing and packaging solutions

Every product needs appealing and robust packaging for commercial success. Almost every product has plastic packaging solution due to many good reasons - versatility, profitability and customer satisfaction. Yes, you heard it right that plastic packaging are better than earlier options. 

The process involved in making plastic package needs modern infrastructure and chemicals. Plastic processors need unique materials for the purpose. A package needs to be colourful and strong, and the polymer additives help to achieve these features in processing. 

Let us see the 4 popular masterbatches used in polymer industry: 

TPU masterbatch  

The TPU masterbatch offers colour and improves the quality of plastic packaging. It adds elasticity in packaging, electrical and other industrial applications. The thermoplastic polymer additive is used in 3D printing in the industries. 

BOPP Masterbatch 

The BOPP film has extensive use in the printing and packaging solution. The film can’t get essential features and properties without using a BOPP masterbatch. The additive acts as slipping agent inducing anti-static properties between the core layers in printing. It reduces the coefficient of friction which enables to increase the output of products with a smooth and glossy surface. Thus, it helps in increasing the profitability of companies during manufacturing. 

BOPET Masterbatch 

The BOPET has tensile strength, durability, heat resistance and clarity. The linear thermoplastic polyester is flexible and transparent. The film is an excellent choice in packaging, electrical and industrial applications. 

As a slipping agent, the BOPET masterbatch prevents migration of colour during printing. Most of the problems in printing get removed, increasing processability of the BOPET sheet. The additive has gained popularity among the plastic processors around the world. 

Silicone Masterbatch

Silicone masterbatch is one of the most popular additives in printing and packaging solutions. The additive acts as a slipping agent prevent colour migration while maintaining printing quality and colour in the finished products. Further, this masterbatch improves scratch and wear resistance of the products during processing.
