Masterbatch enables plastic manufacturers to produce colored plastics and introduce additional properties, such as anti-static and flame-retardant characteristics, to plastic, which would otherwise be unattainable.
Our daily interactions involve plastics that have been enhanced with colored and additive masterbatch, but the production methods involved are much more advanced than commonly perceived. Here, we address frequently asked questions about masterbatch and provide their respective answers.
Masterbatch is an additive that comes in either solid or liquid form. It serves the purpose of coloring plastics (referred to as colored masterbatch) and providing other properties to plastic (known as additive masterbatch).
Additive masterbatch encompasses properties such as thermal resistance, light resistance, flame resistance, anti-static capabilities, and self-extinguishing qualities. By employing plastic additives, manufacturers can modify the characteristics of plastic to suit specific purposes. This type of masterbatch finds widespread use in polymer films, refrigerators, door modules, and drawer rails.
Colored masterbatch allows manufacturers to achieve precise shades and vibrant levels for plastic products. By blending a plastic product with colored masterbatch, the item acquires the desired color with controlled and consistent distribution. Black, white, and colored masterbatch options are readily available.
At MN Colour Sdn. Bhd., masterbatch is created through the use of a twin screw extruder, which combines a concentrated mixture of color pigments or additives. Twin screw extruders are commonly employed for blending materials that require melting and shaping. These extruders are energy-efficient and consume low amounts of energy.
Once produced, masterbatch takes the form of pellets, facilitating easy handling during the plastic manufacturing process and reducing the risk of pigment becoming airborne and contaminating other production lines.
There are numerous benefits associated with using masterbatch in plastic manufacturing. It offers an economical way to color raw plastic and improve its physical properties.
Additional advantages of incorporating masterbatch in plastic production include:
- Consistent and controlled coloration
- Engineered for optimal dispersion
- Convenient for storage and handling
- Suitable for various applications
- Affordable
- High dyeing strength
A wide range of industries incorporate masterbatch in their plastic production processes. These include the building and construction, automotive, transportation, packaging, consumer goods, and agriculture sectors, among others. Masterbatch is also commonly employed in the thermoplastic industry, as well as in paint, ink, and related industries.
A masterbatch manufacturer is a company or entity that specializes in the production of masterbatch. Masterbatch is an additive used in the plastic manufacturing industry to color plastics or impart specific properties to the plastic material. The manufacturer formulates and produces masterbatch by combining color pigments or additives with a carrier resin. They have the expertise and equipment to create masterbatch in various forms, such as solid pellets or liquid concentrates, depending on the application requirements. Masterbatch manufacturers ensure the quality, consistency, and compatibility of their products with different plastic resins and manufacturing processes. They supply masterbatch to plastic manufacturers and other industries that use plastic materials in their production processes.
