Color masterbatch is a concentrated mixture of pigments or dyes and a polymer carrier used for coloring plastics during the manufacturing process. It provides a cost-effective and efficient way to achieve consistent color in plastic products. Color masterbatch can be easily added to a variety of plastic materials, ensuring a uniform color distribution and high-quality finish.
There are different types of color masterbatches, each designed for specific applications and plastic materials:
Color Masterbatch | Key Properties | Applications |
---|---|---|
Carbon Black Masterbatch | Provides deep black color, UV protection, and high durability | Automotive, packaging, outdoor products |
TiO₂ White Masterbatch | Bright white finish, excellent opacity, and high whiteness | Packaging, textiles, industrial applications |
Red/Yellow/Blue Masterbatch | Vibrant colors with excellent stability and brightness | Consumer goods, toys, packaging |
UV Masterbatch / Antioxidant Masterbatch | Provides UV protection and antioxidant properties along with color | Outdoor products, high-heat applications |
Color masterbatches are used in various industries to color plastics for a wide range of applications:
