Why are black and white masterbatch popular in plastic processing?

Plastics with appealing colours and design have more commercial viability than the dull products. There is a rising demand for plastics with alluring colour, mechanical properties, and features. The raw polymers are efficiently processed to give shape, size, and versatile features according to customer demands. 

In the plastic processing industry, hundreds of masterbatches are used to impart colours to the polymer products. In addition to the colour, the mechanical properties and features come in plastics during the polymer processing. Thus, masterbatches are divided into colour pigment, additive, and special effects according to their usages in the industry. 

Every polymer manufacturer keeps hundreds of colours in the database. So, there is no need to worry about the colour combination when it comes to choosing the desired pigment. But, the white and black colour masterbatches have become more popular with full use in plastic processing. 

Let us look at the uses of these masterbatches: 

Black masterbatch  

Black is one of the most popular pigments used in the plastics processing industry. The black masterbatch has 50% carbon black in various particle sizes. The carrier resin must be compatible with the base polymer and used in the extrusion and injection moulding. The additive is compliant with FDA policy, UV stability, thermal stability, electrical insulation, and colour intensity based on the dosage level. Thus, it has become an ideal choice for customers who need blackness in the product. 

 

White masterbatch  

The white masterbatch is another popular additive in the plastics processing industry. The loading of the additive may consist of 70% of titanium dioxide. The filling is selected based on the required whiteness in a plastic product. Further, the additive adds excellent dispersion, opacity, and whiteness to the product during processing. As a result, this additive is a cost-effective option for the traditional pigment to add a white colour to a product.
