Masterbatch plays a crucial role in the plastic production process. The use of the proper additives can add essential functionality to the end products. The additives are dispersed at high concentrations in the base carrier. The base carrier should be compatible with the primary plastic blended during the molding process. In this way, the masterbatch imparts colour and other physical properties to the end-products. However, it is essential to use high-quality MBs to ensure top-quality plastic products. The blog discusses the role of masterbatche play in improving plastic products and how they play a crucial role in the masterbatch production process.
Application of Masterbatches
Masterbatches play a pivotal role across different industries while bringing versatility and desirable properties to various polymer and plastic products. They are used in diverse applications, including injection molding, film extrusion, blown plastic, blow plastic molding, roto molding, and film industries. Further, masterbatches are used in different polymer matrices, like polyolefins, engineering plastics, and PVC. Polyolefins are mainly PE (polyethylene) and PP (polypropylene). Engineering plastics include POM, PC, ABS, NYLON, HIPS, GPPS, PBT, etc.
These are Some of the Features of MBs that Make it a Vital Ingredient in Plastic Products:
Colour Consistency
Our MBs are known for their excellent colour consistency and uniform dispersion. This ensures that no product is rejected due to inconsistent colours and properties, which can lead to vast volumes of final rejections. It is highly important for the masterbatches supplier to provide the same shade of colour in every lot sent to the customer, whether the lot is manufactured weekly, monthly, yearly, or even once in a decade. Providing consistent colour over decades is the sign of a good masterbatch offer.
Light Fastness
Lightfastness is one of the most important characteristics when buying masterbatches. This is especially essential for outdoor products exposed to constant sunlight and extreme climatic conditions. Lightfastness is measured using the Standard Blue Wool Scale Rating System, which consists of 8 levels representing high resistance to colour fading. Perfect Colourants & Plastic Pvt. Ltd uses a scale of 7 and up in our MBs to ensure high lightfastness, longevity, and end-product durability.
Excellent Heat Stability
Industries like automotive and electronics need masterbatches that are highly heat resistant so the plastic components don’t degrade when exposed to high temperatures. Our MBs are heat resistant up to 300-330 degree and stable, which ensures the end-product quality, visual aesthetic, and structural integrity are maintained even at higher temperatures.
Compatibility of MB and Base Polymer
It is crucial for the MB to be compatible with the base polymer of the plastic article. PCPPL offers convenient and cost-effective MB solutions. Our team of experts caters to your specific requirements by tailoring the MBs to suit your base polymer to achieve the desired results for your application. This helps the end user maintain the mechanical properties under any stress condition.
Low Dosage
Accurate dosage allows uniform dispersion of MBs and, ultimately, products and avoids quality deviation in production. At PCPPL, our MBs are designed to improve the properties of the thermoplastic at low dosage levels. Even a low dosage of 0.5% of MB can impact 100% of the product.
