Benefits of Choosing the Right Masterbatch
20 Jul, 2016 4:08 PM
Masterbatch offers processors an easy and convenient way of adding colour and/or performance enhancing additives to natural or base polymers on their own plant. This technique delivers a compelling combination of cost savings and technical benefits including reduced stock holding of compounded material, reduction in cleaning costs, optimum dispersion, hence reliable colour and performance properties in the finished product.
The benefits can be summarised as follows:
• Low stock holding compared with pre-compounded materials.
• Optimum dispersion of pigments/additives.
• Dust free, no health and safety risks in comparison to undispersed fine powder pigments or additives.
• Elimination of 'trial and error' development or formulation work, as this done by the masterbatch supplier who takes responsibility for colour and consistency.
• Reduction in purging/cleaning costs.
A masterbatch is a solid concentrate of colour and/or performance enhancing additives such as anti-static, UV stabiliser, metal deactivator that is added to a base polymer to impart these attributes. It is usually supplied in granular form, either as pellets similar in size to most polymers or as miniature pellets, known as micro granules. Alternatively, masterbatch can be delivered in 'rough cut' form - a mixture of small shreds and chunks.
