Anti-rodent Masterbatch: How Does it Work?
The threat of rodents has been a major concern in the world of plastics. Incorporating an anti-rodent masterbatch ensures that plastic products are safe from rodent damage; this not only extends the product lifespan but also maintains the quality and functionality of the product, providing a reliable solution to a persistent problem.
The Challenge of Rodent Damage in Plastic Products
Rodents are known for damage caused by chewing compounded materials such as electric fiber optic cables, foam insulation, plastic materials, and other materials. Damage to electrical cables is a significant concern in the wire insulation industry that not only impacts the functionality of devices but also poses a major safety threat. Outdoor equipment, including agricultural equipment & machinery, fiber optic cable ducts, and other plastic products, including woven sacks and garden plastic furniture, are exposed to rodent damage, resulting in operational failures and expensive repairs. Anti-rodent masterbatch is an effective and non-toxic barrier against rodent damage for more resilient and durable plastic solutions for various industrial applications. Perfect Colourants & Plastics Pvt.Ltd is a renowned anti-rodent masterbatch manufacturer in India offering a wide range of additive MBs. Our anti-rodent masterbatch is tailored for cables & wires, agricultural films, packaging, pipes & conduits, irrigation pipes, plastic furniture, etc.
Key Characteristics of Anti-rodent Additive Masterbatch
- Repellent Properties: These MBs are specially designed to restrict rodents from coming close or chewing treated materials. They do not kill rodents.
- Compatibility: These additives seamlessly integrate with different polymers without compromising other material's properties.
- Long-lasting effect: The rodent-repelling additives exhibits excellent dispersibilty within the polymer matrix for extended protection against rodents high-risk applications.
- Cost-effective Solution: It is a cost-effective solution for industries looking to minimize risk and expenses associated with rodent infestations as well as avoid frequent repairs & replacements due to surface damage.
The Versatility of Anti-rodent Masterbatch
The anti-rodent masterbatches are formulated to integrate with various polymers, addressing the challenge of rodent damage. These additive masterbatches are typically engineered to have robust rodent-repellent properties and integrate with the desired polymer base to ensure the additives improve the overall performance without compromising on the original property of the material.
How Anti-rodent Masterbatch Work?
The anti-rodent masterbatch works through a series of experiences to discourage rodents from chewing plastic materials:
- Foul Smell on Chewing: When the animal bites on the material treated with additive MBs, the plastic material releases a foul smell. This odour creates an unpleasant experience, combined with a pungent smell.
- Change in Behaviour: The anti-rodent additive composition causes irritation and severe distress to the mucosa of the animal, causing them to avoid chewing on the treated material and forming a negative notion associated with the plastic.
- Communication of Unpleasant Smell: The unpleasant reaction becomes a signal to other animals.
The approach is here not the hurt animals or add hazardous chemicals to the environment. Our masterbatch is specifically designed to just repel the rodents and not to kill them. Anti-rodent additives serve as a powerful defense mechanism that not only protects against immediate threat, but also future damages. At PCPPL, we understand that different industries have different requirements for rodent damage; we tailor solutions according to each industry's specific needs to ensure longevity and effective protection.
