What Is Masterbatch? What Are The Uses For Colour Masterbatch?

LIVERPOOL, U.K. - Jan. 15, 2020 - PRLog -- What Is A Masterbatch?
A masterbatch is a concentrated pre-dispersion of a pigment or additive in a carrier polymer.  Production is carried out on dedicated compounding lines which are usually adapted to handle the higher concentrations of additives and ensure correct dispersion of the active ingredients.

The actual concentrations of pigment or additive in a masterbatch vary depending on the type of material and the polymer type and also on the intended application.  From an economic viewpoint it is good to aim for the highest achievable concentrations but there is usually a limitation imposed by the nature of the particular additive.

The range of materials used as carrier polymers for masterbatch is extremely wide as is the range of polymers in which they can be used.  Large volumes of commodity polymer masterbatch are produced based on, for example, all types of polyethylene and polypropylene but suppliers can also be found who specialise in masterbatch based on engineering polymers such as polyamides, polycarbonate etc even down to highly specialised materials such as fluoropolymers.
