Quality masterbatches for printing and packaging solutions

A package design works beyond the protection of products from getting contaminated. Appealing package design can attract customers to increase sales of products. Plastic is the most common material for packaging design. But, it is a challenge to create an alluring packaging design without the use of the latest technology and techniques. Hence, polymer processing is getting more advanced and innovative these days. 

Most importantly, it is the use of quality polymer additives that make quality plastic processing easy and comfortable. Let us look at the top polymer additives used in the printing and packaging industry processing: 

BOPP Masterbatch 

BOPP films are in widespread use in the manufacturing of food wrapper, packaging, bag, and pouches. The attractive colour and superior printing come when this film is processed with a BOPP masterbatch. The masterbatch prevents migration and acts as a slipping agent during plastic processing. 

 BOPET masterbatch 

BOPET is another crucial film used in producing packaging products and printing. Several problems come in the BOPET film processing industry. The BOPET masterbatch acts as an anti-lock agent and offers a coefficient of friction. That serves as an additive to improve the performance and quality of the product during processing. 

Silicone masterbatch 

The traditional wax and oil were used in the printing of packaging materials in the industry. However, the silicone masterbatch has replaced the conventional slipping agents available in the market. The additive acts as a slipping agent prevent migration and improve the quality of products. It is also helpful to get consistent quality plastic products in manufacturing. It is cost-effective and beneficial to enhance the output of polymer processing. 

TPU masterbatch 

The TPU film is another accessible packaging materials used in the making of a seat belt, automotive, sporting goods, fabrics, wire and care, food processing and other products. However, processing of this film is not possible without using a TPU masterbatch. It enhances the handling of products with higher dispersion, colour and functionalities.

Why are black and white masterbatch popular in polymer processing?

Manufacturing of beautiful plastics could be possible due to the availability of quality polymer additives. As we know, raw polymers do not come with colours and qualities essential to a consumer on usages. Masterbatches help to impart the desired features, properties and appealing colour to plastic during the processing. Hence, polymer additives are an integral part of a successful plastic processing journey. 

Types of masterbatches in the polymer industry 

Obtaining a plastic with desired features such as stiffness, smooth surface, gloss, thermal stability and other properties could be possible with the use of a masterbatch. There are hundreds of polymer additives categories broadly in three different types: 

l  Colour masterbatch - To add colour to a polymer. 

l  Additive- To impart desired functionalities and properties on processing. 

l  Special effect masterbatch - Offer chromatic effects on plastics to beautify them. 

A plastic processor needs to choose a polymer additive assessing the quality, purpose and compatibility to a carrier resin. 

Popular colour masterbatches in the polymer industry 

White masterbatch  

White masterbatch is one of the most popular colour pigments in the polymer industry. Made from Titanium Dioxide, it offers excellent optical properties such as tinting strength, tones and colour. Addition of additive on the polymer affects dispersion and processability of products. Further, the application of this additive enhances plastic properties such as high refractive index, average particle size, and so on. Tones come with the use of chemicals with this additive such as Zinc Oxide, Zinc, Sulphide, and others. Outcomes of plastic properties and tones depend on many factors, which a processor must understand and apply in obtaining a white masterbatch. 

Black Masterbatch

The black masterbatch is another popular colour additive with extensive usage in the industry. Properties of jet blackness, UV rays protection, conductivity, and electrical insulation come with the use of this additive on polymer processing. To get optimum performance and quality, a processor must obtain the right quality masterbatch to add to carrier resins. Otherwise, quality and functionalities of plastics will surface.

Which are the popular polymer additives for printing and packaging solution?

Plastics with appealing packaging and design are more likely to get commercial success. Even the plastic with a glossy and smooth surface attract users more than a dull one on the shop. Hence, every company is trying to increase the attractiveness of its package design with exotic design and colour. 

How are plastic packaging made?

Raw polymers are utilized to make plastics in the manufacturing plants. But, the properties in the plastics come after processing with quality masterbatches available in the market. Fortunately, there are many additives which can be used to manufacturing attractive packages for consumers. 

Let us some of the popular polymer additives used in printing and packaging of plastic products: 

TPU masterbatch  

The TPU masterbatch is a slipping agent with exclusive applications in the industrial packaging. The additive is used to make big bags, plastic drum and other products. The thermoplastic polyurethane is processed with this additive to produce desired effects and features. 

BOPP masterbatch  

BOPP is one of the essential materials in the printing industry. But, the process gets delayed due to friction which heats the layers in printing. The BOPP masterbatch application ensures a lower coefficient of friction between the BOPP film layer. It is also an excellent slipping agent which helps in increasing output and quality printing products. However, the additive should be used in a moderate climatic condition. 

BOPET Masterbatch  

BOPET is a polyester film made from the PET. The film has high tensile strength, chemical and dimensional stability, transparency and electrical insulation. However, the processors face a range of issues in manufacturing plastics. The BOPET masterbatch application increases the slippage and output of products. BOPET films full applications in printing and packaging solutions. 

Silicone masterbatch  

The silicone masterbatch is one of the most popular additives in the polymer processing industry. The additive is an excellent slipping agent which ensure smooth operation in the printing industry. Additionally, the additive improves the quality of a product surface and gloss during the manufacturing process. Hence, the additive has become an ideal choice for a company looking to increase their output and product quality.
