Four additives for plastic packaging and printing solutions

Over the last 60 years, plastic production has grown manifolds due to their versatility natures such as lightness, durability, cheap and multipurpose in daily life. These characteristics have raised the demand for plastics more than anyone has thought ever. Today plastics have infiltrated in every industrial sector, be it agriculture, construction materials, pipes, packages, health care products, and more.

Giving life to a raw polymer isn’t free from challenges. The chemical engineers have thus developed the masterbatches to impart colour, functionalities and special effects on the plastic products. These select chemicals are making plastic manufacturing easy, profitable, and quality to appease consumers in the market. 

Four popular additives and their uses in plastic processing 

TPU masterbatch 

TPU masterbatch is a popular additive in the packaging industry. The additive helps in processing the TPU related products such as automotive accessories, seat belt, sheet, footwear, sporting goods, fibres, wires and cable in the plant. The additive ensures smooth processing and dispersion of intended colour in the finished product. 

BOPP masterbatch 

The BOPP masterbatch is a popular additive for the packaging and printing solution. The additive helps in producing attractive packaging for many products in the plant. Acting as a slipping agent, the masterbatch increases slip performance and output of related products for companies. Due to a lower coefficient of friction, quality products with negligible defects are possible to manufacture for a company. 

BOPET Masterbatch 

The BOPET masterbatch is another anti-block agent used in the printing of packaging materials. The additive is used between the layers to ensure smooth slippage and reduce heat generation during the polymer processing. Further, it also helps to increase the tensile strength, dimensional stability, electrical insulation and other properties in the processing. The additive improves the qualities of a BOPET film during the processing. 

Silicone masterbatch 

One of the most popular slipping agents, siliconemasterbatch ensures a smooth printing of packaging materials. It has reduced the use of earlier traditional wax and oil in the printing process. The new additive is an excellent slipping agent and improves the output of companies manifolds.
