What is Masterbatch?

Masterbatch is a granular material made by mixing ultra-high content colorant and plastic resin. It is an indispensable key material in plastic products and is mainly used to provide color and functionality for plastic parts.

Why Use Color Masterbatch?

Compared with directly adding powder pigments, masterbatch brings significant technical and commercial value:

• Excellent color consistency: Eliminating batch color difference and ensuring uniform color in large-scale production is crucial to brand image.
• Simple, clean and safe operation: Reduce dust pollution, improve factory environment, and ensure the health and safety of workers.
• Efficient and economical: Simplify the batching process, reduce weighing errors and pigment waste, and improve production efficiency.
• Excellent dispersibility: Pre-dispersion technology ensures uniform distribution of pigments, avoids color spots and stripes in the finished product, and makes the color fuller.
• Good compatibility: The carrier resin matches the target plastic to minimize the impact on the physical properties of the final product (such as strength and toughness).
• Flexible formulation: It is easy to add various functional additives such as UV inhibitors, flame retardants, and lubricants.

How Does Color Masterbatch Work?

Mixing:

Mix the colorless or natural color base resin particles and masterbatch particles evenly in a predetermined ratio.

Melt Processing:

The mixture is fed into plastic processing equipment (such as injection molding machines, extruders, and film blowing machines). During the high-temperature melting process:

• The base resin and the carrier resin of the masterbatch are melted at the same time.
• The high-concentration colorant (pigment/dye) encapsulated in the carrier is released.
• Through the pre-dispersion effect during the masterbatch production process, these colorants can be quickly and evenly dispersed throughout the base plastic melt.

Molding Coloring:

The uniformly colored melt is processed into the final product (such as bottle caps, automotive parts, and packaging films), and the target color and effect are displayed after cooling. The whole process is like injecting the uniformly melted "color concentrate" into the plastic melt.
