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.
