Plastic is used in many industries. It is used to make containers, films, car parts, electronic devices, and many other items. But plastic alone is not always enough. It needs help to work better, last longer, or meet safety rules.

Plastic additives and masterbatches are added to plastic during production. They change how plastic behaves. They help make plastic stronger, safer, or easier to use. At Gotrays Industry, we supply sustainable plastic additives and functional masterbatches. We help customers reduce waste and meet global standards.

This article explains what plastic additives and masterbatches are, why they are important, and how Gotrays Industry supports sustainability in the plastics industry.

What Are Plastic Additives?

Plastic additives are materials added to plastic to change or improve its performance. Without additives, many plastic products would not work as needed.

Common Types of Plastic Additives:

  • Antioxidants – Prevent plastic from breaking down in air or heat

  • UV Absorbers – Protect plastic from sunlight

  • Flame Retardants – Help stop plastic from burning

  • Plasticizers – Make plastic softer or more flexible

  • Stabilizers – Keep plastic strong during use

  • Antimicrobial Agents – Help stop bacteria or mold from growing

  • Lubricants – Make plastic easier to shape

These additives are used in many industries, such as packaging, automotive, construction, and electronics.

What Are Masterbatches?

A masterbatch is a mixture of additives or colorants combined into small pellets. These pellets are mixed with plastic during production. Masterbatches are easy to store, measure, and use.

There are two main types:

  • Color Masterbatches – Add color to plastic products

  • Functional Masterbatches – Add features like UV protection, flame resistance, or anti-static behavior

Benefits of Using Masterbatches:

  • Easy to mix with raw plastic

  • Less dust and cleaner production

  • More control over final product performance

  • Lower overall cost by using concentrated additives

What Does “Sustainable” Mean?

“Sustainable” means something that can be used in a way that does not harm the environment or future generations. In the plastics industry, it means:

  • Using fewer harmful chemicals

  • Reducing waste during production

  • Making plastic easier to recycle

  • Making plastic products last longer

  • Following safety and environmental rules

Gotrays Industry works to provide sustainable additives and masterbatches that support these goals.

How Gotrays Industry Supports Sustainability

We focus on making products that help our customers reduce harm to the environment. We also help them follow local and global safety rules.

Our Sustainability Practices:

  1. REACH and RoHS Compliance
    Our products meet safety rules from the EU, including REACH and RoHS. These rules limit harmful chemicals in plastic.

  2. Use of Safe Raw Materials
    We use materials that are tested and safe. We avoid substances that are harmful to people or nature.

  3. Support for Recyclable Plastics
    We offer additives that help plastics keep their shape and strength after recycling.

  4. Low-Emission Additives
    Some additives release gases during processing. We offer options that reduce this.

  5. Custom Formulas to Reduce Waste
    We create formulas that fit each customer’s needs. This reduces waste during production.
