Color Masterbatch
Color masterbatch systems for black, white, automotive, and high-dispersion plastic applications.
Overview
Color masterbatch combines pigments with a compatible carrier resin to deliver controlled color, dispersion, dosage, processing stability, and application-specific performance.
Packaging Film MaterialsCommon Problems
How should a masterbatch carrier be selected?
The carrier should be compatible with the base polymer, processing temperature, dosage, and final appearance and performance requirements.
What causes poor masterbatch dispersion?
Carrier incompatibility, inadequate pigment wetting, low shear, incorrect dosage, moisture, and processing-temperature mismatch are common causes.
