In the field of plastic production, surely everyone has heard a lot about the phrase Masterbatch. However, many people still do not know what is Masterbatch and how it works. As the industry continues to innovate, understanding the meaning and significance of masterbatch has become increasingly important for manufacturers, and consumers alike. Let’s find out the meaning and importance of masterbatch with CPI Plastic in this article!<\/p>\n
Masterbatch<\/strong> is a commonly used term in the plastics industry. It refers to a concentrated mixture of pigments or additives encapsulated in plastic granules. Masterbatch are used in the plastic industry to create color, enhance properties or reduce the cost of producing plastic products.<\/p>\n Masterbatch is a flexible material that can be used in many different industries. It can be customized depending on the intended use as well as the technical requirements of the end product.<\/p>\n The composition of masterbatch usually includes three main components: pigments, additives and base resin. Pigments are responsible for creating color for plastic products. They can be organic or inorganic compounds, depending on the color and desired application. Additives, on the other hand, are substances that help improve the performance or properties of plastics. These may include UV stabilizers, flame retardants, antioxidants, etc. Finally, the base resin acts as a binder, holding the pigments and additives together.<\/p>\n The base material of the masterbatch can be wax or a specific polymer that is identical or compatible with the natural polymer used. For example, masterbatch produced from polymers such as EVA or LDPE can be used for polyolefin and nylon, and polystyrene can be used for ABS, SAN and sometimes polycarbonate plastics. When a different substrate is used and is not compatible with the resin used, the properties of the finished resin will be changed. The usage rate of masterbatch and original resin in normal production is 1\u20135%.<\/p>\n The uses of Masterbatch plastic beads depend on its composition. There are 3 common types of Masterbatch:<\/p>\n Color masterbatch<\/strong> – used to color plastic products. The main ingredients include base resin and colorant. There are also a number of other additives available upon special request.<\/p>\nII. Ingredients of Masterbatch<\/strong><\/h2>\n
