What is the Uses and Advantages of Masterbatch

As we know that Masterbatch is a liquid or solid additive for plastic products used for coloring plastics (color masterbatch) or imparting other various chemistry properties to plastics (additive masterbatch). Masterbatch is a concentrated mixture of pigments and/or additives encapsulated during a heat process into a carrier resin which is then cooled and cut into a granular shape. Masterbatch allows the processor to colour raw polymer economically during the plastics manufacturing process. Masterbatch is composed with excessive chemistry accessory ingredient, carrier resin and dispersants. Color masterbatch is made of ultra quantity of pigments (dyestuffs) which carries evenly in the resin.

Masterbatch includes:
1. Color masterbatch
2. White masterbatch
3. Black masterbatch
4. Filler masterbatch
5. Additive masterbatch

The benefits of using masterbatch:
1. Make the pigment in the plastic have a better dispersion
The pigment need thinning processing in masterbatch production process in order to improve the pigment dispersibility and color strength. Special masterbatch carrier has the same plastic carrier with article own good matching function. When heating and melting, the pigment particles can be well dispersed in the plastic article.

2. Conducive to maintaining the chemical stability
Direct use the pigment, because of the pigments in the storage and use process of direct contact with the air, so will happen to absorb moisture, oxidation, forming groups and other phenomena, the resin carrier can make pigments isolated from the air and moisture, can make the pigments quality unchanged for a long time.

3. Keep maintaining the pigment color stability
Plastic Masterbatchsimilar to resin particles more convenient in the accurate measurement, does not adhere to the container when mixing and is more uniform with the resin mixture, so ensuring a stable amount, thus ensuring the stability of color products.

4. To protect the health of operators
Pigments are generally powder, easy flying when adding and mixing, once be inhaled, the operator's health will be great effect.

5. Environment is clean, non-staining utensils

6. Process is simple, easy to turn color, saving time and raw material
