Colour masterbatch is an adddictive that alters the color of plastic materials. To create this, organic and/or inorganic pigments are dispersed in resin carriers, including homopolymer PP, copolymer PP, HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, PET, PVC, ABS, FPPS, HIPS, and PBT. The pigments and carrier resin are blended until they are uniformly distributed, forming a concentrated colorant that can be added during the manufacturing process. This technique provides precise control over the final product's color, allowing for a wide range of shades and hues to be produced. Color masterbatch is commonly used in products such as packageing, toys, and automotive parts.
Incorporating color masterbatch in plastic manufacturing provides several advantages. Firstly, it ensures that the product is consistently and uniformly colored, avoiding any discrepancies or variations. Secondly, it is a cost-effective alternative to purchasing pre-colored plastic pellets as only a small quantity of masterbatch required to achieve the desired sharde. This means that manufacturers do not have to buy large quantities of pre-colored pellets. Additionally, using masterbatch allows for greater production flexibility since the same base plastic material can be used to create products in diffrerent colors. Finally, using masterbatch is environmentally friendly because it reduce waste by enabling manufcaturers to use excess base plastic materials instead of discarding them because of the wrong color.
